so ive been trying to get the a word outlined over a image that i have, i kinda of got it to work with putting a boarder around in, but it still cuts everyline in the whole image and decal, its kinda of hard to explain but hoping somebody can help me out..im looking to just have a white line around the letters to make it stand out more.

Here is a post that shows how to in scal3/ecal viewtopic.php?t=24049

You don't say which version of scal you are using so if you have scal2 you would select your text and go to options/add shadow layer, you can increase the size of the outline there too.

If you just want an outline with no fill color you just change fill color to none, stoke color to whatever color suits.

If you need more come on back and let me know what did and did not work.

sorry about that, i am useing sure cuts alot pro 3, i have a flag in the back ground and im trying to put letters over and make the letters stand out, i tried shaddowing it but its still cutting every line, even after i weld it

I may still be confused (it happens alot). But I think what you want is to cut the words as one piece. If so you need to move each letter so that it touches its neighbor and do a path/union. Then you would do a shadow/blackout for the white background. Those two pieces would be cut separately and glued together.

Are you planning to cut the flag as well?

If I missed again,

I guess im just gunna cut them seperate like you said and just lay the word over it, i really appreciate your time for helping me

Never settle if you don't have too.

If you want to cut in one piece, no layering.

Type your word, draw draw 2 rectangles place one on to just overlapping the top, do the same with the bottom.

Select all and path/union
