Help with making this logo to outlines...

[Emma austin]

I would appreciate any help with this, I am going to make a 3D-ish sign for a friend's expo.
I have attached a pic of the logo. Also my corel file. What I want to do is cut each part seperately and then layer with tape/glue. So the white arm in the monster I will cut from white and glue on the black acrylic..
I seperated all the parts that would need to be cut, then got stuck at the squiggly line. I know it is thin but I wanted to cut this all from one piece of black acrylic. But I can't seem to make it an outline to cut? ie when I go to make it hairline, it is just one single line with no inside. It would be okay if I have to make it thicker, but short of tracing another line all the way around I can't figure out how to?
Any advice would be great! Many thanks.

To make it thicker is easy. Click on it, go to Contour (Windows -> Dockers -> Countour or just hit Ctrl-F9). Countour to outside by maybe 0.5mm (0.02"). Make sure you say 'none' to line thickness, fill with black.

Thanks for the reply and tip. I didn't know about that tool. But I am still not getting something right...
I need it to be an outline, so I can physically cut it out. When I use the outline tool I am still only getting one line?
Sorry I am still learning these things..

I would just raster the lines. Vector cutting them most likely will not make it more appealing than just raster engraving IMHO.

I am not sure if this is what you were looking for. I did as John suggested, put a contour around the scribble, I then broke the contour group apart and made the scribble thicker than hairline, so that it will raster, and tidied up a few of the kinks in the outline. You could draw in more "cutouts" or just copy and paste a few of the existing ones and change them to fit where you want them.

Here is the Corel file, for some reason my steam driven internet access would not let me add another attachment!

Many thanks Carrol! Very helpful. Will have a play tomorrow and see if it will work. :)

This is a great place...4 different countries represented in this thread to solve the problem. U.S., Fiji, Africa and Emma-down under. New Zealand?

Just for reference, when you have the line, if you select "covert outline to object", it'll do what you are asking.
