I opened your file in Inkscape and put it in view, display, outline mode. I saw in the A on the backside of the A that it looks as if there is an extra line that streatches more then half way down. I used my node tool to grab it and move the back side out of the way and it and to me it looks like an extra line. This one is different than any of the fantum lines that sometimes show up. It didn't go away for me when I tried to get rid of it. I haven't ever seen anything like it.
There was alos an extra object in the upper left side. Very nice looking but did you mean to have it there?
One other thing your design is lovely.

OK everyone there was nothing wrong with anything except the file....I hadn't gone back and do a union ...something so simple....also added a border around the file to cut it 6.75 x 6.75 to fit on my block...to cut I used to have to drag the file off the mat to make the cut threw the circles but Heather has been so kind to teach me how to crop in inkscape..I wanted to cut 3 files at a time on a 12 x 24 mat but couldn't without the crop of the circles
Also hate that we have that 1/4 inch from the end of the mat...I forget to allow for it sometimes....will upgrade scal when xmas is over just incase I have more problems that could hold some of my cutting up....

by the way can any tell me why I can't view this file in renesis and why it is blacked out..I have an box around the file to cut an outline around it ..

Hi Judy, the short answer is that it shows black because while the lines are there for cutting, you haven't done the Path/Exclusions needed to make an easily viewable file (you only see the lines in outline.) Do you use the thin rectangle border around the image?

Also, you might have had problems with the file I posted because I think I worked on it in Ink47 (sorry, I'll try not to do that again :oops: ).

Heather I just didn't check to see if the rings and peace were a union...then it worked perfect except my other file had a box around it to cut it out so I didn't have to cut it out by hand....
I drew my own box with the beizer tool ..I made a double line...does this tell you anything about the file being black..it works great just can't see it when I save it....

So you don't want the square welded to the rings? Here are my top three fixes.

    1. You can remove the fill on the squares and set a stroke
    2. You can reduce the opacity of the squares so that you can see the images through them
    3. You can break apart your file, select the inner and outer square, Path/Exclusion, select all of the rest of the pieces, control K to put them back to the same path.

If you want the square welded to the rings, do choice three, then select all, Path/Union.
