Measuring the Middle
Have you ever had an image that you wanted to have a specific part of it a certain size? Well, it can be kind of time consuming to get it just right using just the rulers or trying to eyeball it with trial an error. Well, today's tip is a sure fire way to make it quick and easy to get it exactly how you want it. For instance, if I want the back wheel of this bike to be exactly 2 inches, I can create a square by clicking on the rectangle on the left toolbar, then a secondary toolbar will appear across the top. I can select square and just create the 2 inch square. Then I need to select the entire object, in this case the bicycle and just use the handles on the corner to adjust it until the wheel fits perfectly inside of it. Now, I can just delete the square and cut out my image. For more information about creating a Square in the precise size you want, be sure and watch the Drawing a Square video. Drawing a Square I hope this tip will help you make the images whatever size you want, regardless of what portion you are adjusting.
Thickening a Cut Line
Many times we have a font or image that we want to cut, but the line is just so thin it either doesn't cut well, or it cuts, but is so fragile that you can't remove it from the mat without it just disintegrating or tearing, even if you use the Pazzles Spatula. There is good news! You can thicken those lines with a little trick using the Outline Tool.

Software Tip: Docking Windows
Every once in a while I get a question that I don't even really think about anymore, because I have been using the InVue software for quite some time. Fortunately, I am lucky to work with so many people that are new to Pazzles and I get to remember some of those beginning steps of using the software. The question I got a few weeks ago is, "My color palette is gone, how can I get it back?" The good news is, it is very easy to fix. Across the top of your screen click on the word Window, then click on Docking Windows. You will see the options of items that will show on the right side of your software. I recommend making sure there is a check mark in front of each one.
