   2. Here are the file specifications:
      1. Please have your design be under 3"x3"
      2. The objects on your page must be discrete objects. Anything you wish to cut should be a closed shape. For example, if using
         Illustrator, do not use objects to hide parts of objects you do not
         wish to cut. You will also need to check that you do not have any doubled lines.
      3. The cutter uses color and line-weight to determine which lines to cut, and which to engrave.
         1. Cut lines:
            1. 100% Red
            2. lineweight = 0.01 pts
         2. Engrave:
            1. Black
            2. Minimum of 1pt for lines to be engraved
            3. Objects to be engraved must not be grouped
      4. Bring your final file on CD or e-mail the file to sarahalv@iastate.edu
      5. Other Requirements: Make sure your image is contained in a shape. Possible ideas are: snowflakes, circles, squares, etc.
         Leave an area for a hole to be drilled in the top so the ornament can be hung by wire.
