A dialog box will pop up presenting various options for customizing your puzzle. These options include:
| • |
Puzzle Size: Allows you to choose the number of puzzle pieces.
|
|
|
|
| • |
Chaos: Controls the “randomness” of the puzzle pieces.
|
|
|
|
| • |
Alternation: Controls the way the puzzle pieces are arranged.
|
|
|
|
| • |
Preview Object(s): Gives you the option to view your image in the puzzle background.
|
|
|
|
| • |
Create Puzzle Pieces/Cutting Edges: This important option defines two very different methods for creating puzzle pieces. |
|
|
|
|
| • |
Create Puzzle Pieces: Vector cuts each puzzle piece individually. Not recommended, as the laser actually traces the outline of each piece twice and can cause burning and charred edges.
|
|
|
|
| • |
Create Cutting Edges: Generates sets of horizontal and vertical vector curves to cut out a puzzle in its entirety. This is the preferred method for creating a puzzle on a laser system.
|
|
|
|
|
| • |
Place Object(s) Inside Puzzle: Automatically places your selected image in the puzzle background after processing; the puzzle can then be ungrouped and the individual pieces can be moved anywhere onscreen with its corresponding portion of the background image. |
|
|
|
| • |
Randomize: Generates random shape puzzle pieces.
|
After choosing your puzzle options, click “CREATE” to generate a finished puzzle.
