Let's say I've have made a two rail sweep. I only want the sweep cut and not the area around the sweep on base material. I know if I manually connect the rails to form a closed vector, it will only cut that area. Is there a quicker way to do it. So far my sweeps have been simple so it hasn't been a real problem. But if I have a carving in the middle of my material that has irregular
outer boundry, and I only want the carving done and not the whole face, is there a simple to outline this or do I have to draw an irregular line by hand to form the boundry?

Re: Cutting area boundry
The irregular boundary vector can be generated by selecting the greyscale component bitmap and then using the fit vectors to bitmap command.
