Hi Paul
I want to stick with the first example you showed to me as it keeps the circle the same size. Ive just found out that i am using this as a template for a 10inch plate so i measured the centre for the picture and its 6 and a half inches. guess if i knock that down to 6 and a quarter inches i can allow for play. Ive tried the first example and could not cut the centre of the circle out. On the edit button the list for cut was greyed out.I did notice however that a new layer was created in the layers menue called Vectormask. I dont know if this is the problem as i did not see this in your example. thats as much as i can tell you

did you click on the padlock twice? you must do it right on the padlock. not next to it etc... when padlock unlocked. make sure your layer is selected. simply click on the layer onse so it will get blue,

then do edit > cut

The only way i can get the cut to work is if i click on the other layer above the blank page layer with the circle in it but it just blacks out the whole page

ok i followed your steps to the letter and put the circle into the page. a new layer open up above the original one. I had to select that layer and still no cut on the menue. i then selected the circle inside that second layer and the cut worked to a point. it made the circle dissapear completely off the page leaving it blank. The second layer now reads shape 1.
thats as far as i have got. i will give you a screen print of how it looks now that i have got this far.
