Skitch Vs. Easy Cut Studio For Mac

Alright my friends, here goes nothing.as I warned last week on the page, from here on out we're using the new version of Silhouette Studio. I downloaded V3 from the Silhouette America homepage last week and after only about 5 minutes, the new free software upgrade was up and running on my Mac. As most of you know the initial release of V3 was not very well received. There were a lot of bugs, advanced options, and changes to the program which didn't make it as (beginner) user-friendly as the old version. I understand why that has many of you apprehensive to now download and install the now updated and new and improved version of Studio V3.but I'm encouraging you to take the plunge. Silhouette America has really taken user feedback to heart to fix the bugs and leave the advanced options to the advanced user, while making sure beginners can jump right in. As I always try to do, I'm here to hold your hand, help you find the tools, buttons, and options you're used to using, and of course answer your questions.

I'm not going to tell you V3 isn't going to take some getting used to because it definitely is.but I think you'll find that after working through your first project you'll feel much more comfortable and confident. Since my first project was a little clunky - because I was searching for buttons, options, and for goodness sake the 'Cut Style' button - I thought I'd help you all out and give you a head start by sharing 10 things V3 newbies need to know! The first thing you'll notice is that the welcome screen that opens when you launch Studio looks different. Most of the options are obvious, but in case you're wondering what each does. Design - opens up a new work area.

Store - takes you to the Silhouette Online Store. Library -take you to your design library. Open - opens up a file search window so you can important designs #2. A few of the Tool Bar Icons have changed.

Here's what the V2 (aka Legacy) toolbar looked like and below it is what the new V3 tool bar looks like. Among the biggest changes are the Offset Tool, the 'home' icon and for the love the 'Cut Settings'. That leads us to #3, #4 and #5.

The Offset tool Icon image has changed and moved. Along the upper right side tool bar, you'll notice that the Offset Tool Icon is now indicated by an a pentagon.

In the V3 bar above, it's highlighted in the blue - fourth from the left. This icon change is somewhat curious since the offset icon on the lower left, near the weld and un/group tools remains the target-looking icon. The 'Page Settings' icon which was previously indicated by the 'home' icon is no longer on the tool bar. It's been replaced by a new page settings icon which is just to the right of the 'trace' icon (highlighted in blue below). This is where you'll find all your options to reveal the cutting mat, change the page size, and rotate the page view. Cut Settings Button Vanishes.I've heard it from many of you and while it's true that the little scissors with the line through it is no longer where you're used to finding it as shown in the V2 toolbar below, it's not gone completely.

The Cut Settings button is now on the far right of the tool bar and it looks like a little blade (highlighted in blue below or second from the right in the close up view of the the V3 tool bar above). This button actually combines a few of the old tools and was the tool that hung me up the most because of all it offers. This is where you're not only going to select your line cut style, but you're also going to select the type of material (no longer will you get the Materials List options when you click the 'Send to Silhouette' button), have some advanced cutting options for layers, and it's where the sketch pen option is hidden.which leads me to #6. Spell Check has arrived!

In case you haven't noticed, and please excuse me because I'm sure you have, but I am not the best speller. Actually, I'm a fine speller, I'm just a super fast typer which often leads me to have typos. Ahhhhhh.the almighty spell check is now part of Silhouette Studio V3.

If you notice your text has a blue squiggly line under it, it may be spelled incorrectly. To spell check Highlight the text (with the black and squares, not the green like below) Right Click (or Control Click on Mac) to see a list of possible correctly spelled words.

Hi, I am very new to this:( I have only used my silhouette studio v3.2 once. I imported an svg. File and it worked and it is still in my library! This is the second time that I am trying to use it but this time it just isn't working!

When I go to either 'open' or 'import' it doesn't show my svg. Files then I select the option 'all files' to see my svg. When I select the svg. File it gives an error message that says: 'The file type you are attempting to access is not supported'.

Can anybody help me?!
