• Create a replica of the item to be engraved:
If it’s something simple, like a square or a rectangle, use the basic shapes available in SignCut Pro:
If it’s not a shape that can easily be recreated in SignCut Draw, then trace it onto paper:

contour of the heart:
• IMPORTANT: Carefully measure the actual tag and compare it to the dimensions of the contour. Adjust the
size of the contour if needed.
