Rats. I need help again! :S Simplest way to outline, arrange, and print large images?

[Jillybelly28]

Hello there! I have made a sewing pattern using Blender, a free 3d modelling program from online. I would now like to use Affinity Designer to re-size and print my pattern pieces, which I just have in a png file that I have placed into AD. The oval shaped piece is going to be her tummy and I know that I want that piece to be 8 inches tall, with the other pieces being scaled accordingly. To save me some money on ink, I would like to print these shapes with just a black outline. Before I print them I would like to add text and arrows and whatnot aswell. (Text and arrows are the only thing I don't need help with though!)

I know I can trace the edges with the pen tool, but I was wondering if there was an automatic way to outline these images... or else a way to just delete the inside part of them. 

I am also wondering what would be the best way to create an artboard that will enable me to print one pattern piece over several pieces of printer paper. I know I have done it once, but I can't remember what in the world I did!

Thank you so much to anyone and everyone who is willing to help me out!!

Hi Jilly,

 

I would save the UV as an eps or svg. Then in Designer select all and boolean add. There might be a small amount of cleanup to do (depends on how good the UV is  :P ).

 

Then give the remaining pieces a stroke and no fill (or white fill).

That. Worked. SO. GOOD!!!!!!!!! I saved the UV map as an svg file and then converted it to curves and then did the boolean add just like you said, and voila!  Thank you so much, that just made my day!!
