Hi Everyone! Currently, there is a glitch in Silhouette Studio that prevents the cut lines on some of the newer files from automatically being turned ON when you go to the SEND panel. You can tell that the cut lines are ON when they are bright red. Silhouette is aware of this and they working to fix the issue. All of these files can still be cut, I have a quick work around for you.
As you can see below, when I click send on this file, the red cut lines are missing and I’m not able to cut.
To remedy this, first click and drag around the elements on your mat so that they are selected. You know they are selected if there is a bounding box around the shape. (see red arrow)
Once your items are selected, navigate to the right side of the screen and click on the word cut. (circled below)
Once you click CUT, the red cut lines appear and you are ready to cut. If any pieces still do not have a red line, click on that individual piece to select it and click CUT again. For print and cut pieces, you will need to click “Cut Edge.”
This process works with .studio files that you download from Silhoeutte AND SVG files that you import into Silhouette (SVG files can be used in Silhouette if you have the Designer Edition Upgrade of Silhouette Studio)
However, if you purchase SVGs from shop.loriwhitlock.com you can set it up so that the cutlines will automatically be set to CUT when you open them in Silhouette Studio. Here is how you would do that…
Under the EDIT menu at the top of the Silhouette Studio Screen select PREFERENCES
On the top of the preferences screen click on IMPORT. On the left side about halfway down under SVG click on the CUT LINES pull down menu and select CUT 0.1pt LINES. Then click APPLY, then OK.
Now when you import any of the SVG files from shop.loriwhitlock.com into Silhouette, the lines will automatically be set to cut.
I hope this helps you with your Silhouette projects! Thanks for visiting the blog today! Please let us know if you need any help with your files. We want to make sure everyone is happy with their purchase. Have a great week! SHOP HERE
Hello Lori
I recently purchased two files from you. I was a little disappointed that they didn’t come with any directions for assembly. Is there somewhere on your website where I can find assembly directions?
thank you
