Create Rubber Band Outline

Quick Reference: Create Rubber Band Outline

  • Hero Image

    Outlines a selection of objects with a new path.

  • Location

    Arrange → Create rubber band outline

Create rubber band outline automatically makes a new shape outlining the graphics in your current selection. The new shape is defined as the shortest possible path that can contain all graphics in your selection, as if a rubber band were stretched around them.

Use this tool to quickly create cut lines around images or complex graphics — making Offset Shapes easy, or to negate Filled areas in vector engravings.

After making a selection, go to Arrange → Create rubber band outline from selection.

The outline that's created will automatically be set to the last layer you selected from the Color Palette.
