on the other hand as they were different questions [aka topics] maybe they could have been left separate.... c'est ca

it was clearer when the threads were separate - it is now a non-sequitur, a completely different question
he wants a cutting outline around the shape - I suggested using a contour in post #19 - can't think of doing it any other way in xara [other than manually], but there may be one....

That's the way I've used for vinyl signs and waterjet cutting. Works well. There's a but...
In the image below, I've done a contour around a vector version (that I traced from a larger version of the logo), used a 5mm offset, single step contour, no fill with outline. Selected all the nodes with the shape tool except the ones around the tag hole, and for my uses, used a spot color named CutContour for the outline.
Which works fine for vinyl and waterjet cutting. Here's the "But." Depending on how the cutting is being done, the inner corners of the contour may need to be rounded to no smaller than the cutter's diameter unless the cutting software will properly make allowances else those sharp corners may look funky.

Possibly an odd occasion that Xara's trace can help?How to convert an image into a vector
