coreldraw help getting complete stencil outline

[Graham Taylor]

Hi guys,

I need to cut the exact outline shape of a mylar stencil into MDF so that when layed on top of each other the stencil fits exactly.

I have the cdr file for the stencil but am struggling to find the best way to isolate the outline shape so that it is one continuous line rather than having the gaps between the stencil shapes (which the stencil obviously needs so it works).

Its quite a complicated shape and I have been asked not to share the stencil by the designer but if anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Cheers all

first add some connecting lines between the separated stencil shapes.
select your objects and try the "create boundary" feature. It will create an outline.
