Stencil Bridge in SCAL 4

[Angel135612]

Has any one here used the Stencil Bridge? I wanted to create a stencil of one of my Tigger svgs, and every time I use it, the design loses some of the detail. I was hoping that it would just remove a small section, and not alter anything else in the svg, but it isn't working that way. Also, I don't see any way to adjust the width of the bridge, it seems to be preset, and the only thing you can set, it the length of it going through your design.

I was hoping this would make creating stencils out of some of my svgs easier than having to create my own bridge, but it isn't working the way I thought it might.

Also, when I try to create my own bridge, and apply it to my design, the small bridge doesn't want to go where I put it. It keeps trying to snap to something, but I'm not sure what, and I can't find any setting to keep things from snapping.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

If you go to the view tab you will see a snap to tab which will give you options to untick the snap to options.

Thanks Jo!

Thanks Jo, that helps with placing the bridge, but I'm still looking to see if I can adjust the width of the bridge, and why the design is losing detail the more bridges I use.

I do understand that there may be a loss because of the way the nodes create the design for cutting. Perhaps I'm trying to use too detailed of a design to create a stencil. What I wanted to do is create a mask so that I could spray paint the design onto some seat covers in my BF's jeep. I may need to think of another way to do this, and perhaps use the negative space from a vinyl cut out, and use something other than spray paint, that won't run and drip if the edges aren't down well enough. Or it could be that the design I'm trying to use just does not lend itself well to being used as a stencil.
