I'm sorry if this has been discussed but iv been searchin for 3 hours with no answers, I want to strike out a shaow around text so its partial I will try add photos I type my text copy past and offset them layered and add a stroke and get the effect I want but I want to take out the stroke and as I'm cutting to vinyl I just want to shadow shapes that are seen to be cut, its driving me mad this is the effect I want to get and how I want the final design to be like for plotting. this image is how I need my text, it was a logo that a customer already had made, as u can see all the grey partial shadow is separate so will cut separate in plotter This photo is what I achieve when I layer and add a stroke, but when I try and make the stroke transparent it doesn't work will work fine if I test it with shapes, but even converting to outline etc nothing works, as please help I'm goin out my mind, or even if anyone knows a way to get that partial shadow another way,as I can tell from the pics i.e the A the shadow used by whoever made the company logo is not the same shadow if I offset layer it like iv done, thanks
