![]() ![]() Let’s move on to purchasing SVGs in the Silhouette Design Store. You may have noticed in the Silhouette Design Store when you add individual files to your cart, and while in your shopping cart, that you’re able to check a box to include SVG with certain designs. Now this bow is ready to cut from colored paper, or turn on registration marks to do a Print & Cut. This is done in the Send panel. With the designs selected, choose Cut or Cut Edge, depending on whether you need inner parts to cut or not. ![]() You usually need to turn on cut lines with imported SVGs. Watch for the thin bounding boxes to show up, indicating separate objects. You may need to ungroup multiple times or even release the compound path to break objects apart and then regroup things like perforated lines so that the pieces move with their related parts. Many SVGs open at 1.0 thickness, so if you are cutting, it’s good practice to set the line thickness to 0.0 so there’s no risk of cutting on both sides of a skinny line. Now we will choose the Open icon and find the 3D bow SVG we’ve downloaded. You can also drag and drop an SVG file from an open computer folder straight onto your design page.Ĭheck the line thickness, which you can see in the Quick-access Toolbar when it’s selected. Set your Properties in the Import tab so that imported SVGs open centered in the page, or else it’s possible some may open off of your workpage and become hard to find. If you’ve upgraded to Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition or higher, you have the ability to open external SVGs that you create, purchase, or download from other sources. Here are a few points to know when working with SVGs in Silhouette Studio®. First, know that not all SVGs are created in the same way, so you’ll get some variance in their properties and behavior. SVGs also exist outside of Silhouette Studio® and are created and used in other software programs. So how can you use SVGs in Silhouette Studio®? I did this using the latest version of Inkscape, which you can download it free at this post, you’ll learn about using SVGs in Silhouette Studio® and why you might choose to buy the SVG addition in the Silhouette Design Store. SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphic. The lines are not made up of pixels of color the way bitmap images are, which include JPG, GIF, and PNG files. That means vector lines can be resized without losing any quality.Ĭut lines, text, and shapes created in Silhouette Studio® are vector designs, as are cut files in the Design Store that are not designated as Print & Cut designs. But those are all opened and saved by default as Silhouette Studio® files. I hope you can give it a try since it’s almost like using a regular printer and you can have great results. Immediately you will see the Silhouette cutting from Inkscape. It will close.Ī small window will appear prompting you to click OK to start cutting. Click on the Close button.Ĭlick OK on the Printing Preferences window. On the Craft ROBO Controller window, select the Media Type and adjust the Speed and Thickness according to the paper or cardstock that you are going to cut. The Craft ROBO Controller window will open. Click on Modify Color if your color line is not selected already. Now, click on the other tab from the same window that is Cutline Settings tab. Make sure the Design Orienta tion is the same as to the page orientation of your screen. Now, click on the box next to Use Carrier Sheet to insert a check mark. On the Printing Preferences, for Paper Size: use the ISO A4. Click on the Preferences button, the Printing Preferences window will open. On the Print window, click on Graphtec Craft ROBO. Using the Select tool, select all the images you want to cut.I prefer to make mine black to make things easier. ![]()
