Size
Set the units and outline dimensions of a Cookiecad design.
Size sets the dimensions of the traced outline, before Cookiecad adds the cutter wall and handle rim. The downloaded cutter is wider across its rim than this outline.
Cutter Sets show the heading Size of largest because the separate pieces retain their relative sizes. Texture Rollers show Source size and the field Source longest edge, which scale one pattern tile before repetition.
Units
Choose mm or inches in Units. Changing units converts the displayed size without resizing the physical model.
Stencil shape, layout, and thickness units are configured separately under Stencil settings.
Size value
With Longest side selected, enter one value in Size. Cookiecad preserves the image proportions and makes the outline's longest dimension match that value. The default is 75 mm.
For a square Cutter with the default rectangular handle and Base width of 4 mm, a 75 mm outline produces a cutter 83 mm across the handle rim: 75 + 4 + 4 mm. Base width extends outward from the outline on each side; it is not included in Size. Other handle, blade, or added-feature settings can change the finished dimensions. See Handle settings.
To make the same design at another size, follow Resize a cutter in Designer. Scaling the downloaded file in a slicer also scales the blade; see Resize cutters in the Designer, not in your slicer.
A standalone Stamp uses the requested outline size. In a Cutter + Stamp set, stamp clearance reduces the stamp so it fits inside the matching cutter.
Sizing method
Set size of offers:
- Longest side for proportional scaling from one outline measurement.
- Width and height for explicit outline dimensions, before the cutter wall and handle are added.
Width, height, and aspect lock
In Width and height mode, enter Width and Height. Keep the lock closed to preserve the current width-to-height ratio while editing either dimension. Open the lock to set width and height independently. Closing it again preserves the new proportions rather than restoring the uploaded design's proportions.
For Texture Rollers, these values are the source tile dimensions. Rotate source image under Texture Roller settings swaps which dimension runs along the roller and which wraps around it.
