The only real extra work: Create a vector cutting shape for any PNG or bitmap layer with transparency - do not reply on the PNG or bitmap transparency to create it. So the upper right circle shape, potentially merge the white circle down onto the outer texture layer.Ĥ. Probably not necessary, but I'm paranoid: If more than one rasterised layer for any single cutting shape, merge them.

the Happy Birthday text and inner black ring in your (Busenitz) other thread example, and also the white circle on the right-hand shape.ģ. Rasterise anything not needed as a cutting line e.g.

Make another copy of the AD file if you might re-use it in the future and want to make changes to shapes and textures.Ģ. Depending on surrounding transforms, groups, and other SVG tags, a program that does not support the full SVG specification might also have trouble recognising that a shape exists inside a tag it does not recognise.ġ. The disappearing shape looks like a layer order problem in that example - SVG does not specify depth, so it might be easy to have shapes present but out of order, depending on the SVG file and the interpreting program. By clicking on them and purchasing products through my links, I receive a small commission.Any experience in the Silhouette software, but some knowledge of SVG and raster/vector issues and the information in (excellent selection of sample steps!), it looks like it might be possible in AD with a little more preparation work to simplify the situation - in effect, to create vector silhouettes for Silhouette Studio.

Update from Designer Edition to Business Edition Update from Designer Edition Plus to Business Edition Update from Designer Edition to Designer Edition Plus Update from standard Silhouette Studio to Designer Edition

5 GB of hardware space will not able to run Silhouette Studio until additional space becomes available.īy the way if you already have Designer Edition and you want to upgrade to Designer Edition Plus or Business Edition you only pay the pro-rated amount - just make sure you get the right license key for the partial upgrade. Low Hard Drive Space Warning - Users who have low hard drive space (1.5 GB or less) will get a message that Silhouette Studio will preform better if additional space is cleared.

Silhouette Design Store files will be excluded.ġ1. Export as SVG/PDF/JPEG ( Business Edition) - User-created designs will have the ability to save designs as SVG, PDF and JPEG files directly from Silhouette Studio. Some of these new V4.1 features will be available to all users in Standard Silhouette Studio while others are Designer Edition, Designer Edition Plus, or Business Edition only features.ġ. While the bones of V4.1 are good and the new features laid out for this version of the software are arguably the most significant set of new features we've seen - they almost all need a significant amount of development work to be both functional and user friendly in Silhouette Studio. It will still likely be a few months before Silhouette Studio V4.1 is released and, honestly, let's all hope it is. I have to say.never I have I felt Silhouette Studio Business Edition was more worth it than now. Some of them are features Silhouette crafters have been requesting for years including the long-awaited return of Save as SVG and others are new features that many will find make it easier to use Studio. As a member of the volunteer Silhouette Studio Beta Testing Team I can tell you a whole ton of new features are in the works for next generation of Silhouette Studio V4 (and the hotly contested Send panel is getting a major overhaul).
