It seems my machine doesn't do the right calibration for the distance adjustments (a-b, 1-2). So I tried to change the Distance A-B and 1-2 but it doesn't matter if I put these bars all the way to the left or right, my machine keeps cutting on the exact wrong places.. any tips?

SOLVED: because I have to work with a printer thats not connected straight to the PC, I have to save the PDF file itself. But once the PDF panel shows you can choose: More settings, and there I had to change the paper file from letter to A4 as well. Now its correct!

Hello, I am using the software with my mh us cutter. Issue I am having there is a ghost image on my print area, my cutter cuts my image fine, but towards the end as it returns to its begging point, it puts down the blade and cuts across my newly cut vinyl, I saw a way to refresh my area it envolved highlighting the entire area ( I then saw the nodes, or nodels however you say it) I. Hit the delete button, and my page was clean to start a new vinyl session. Would you know where i go to complete that option to do this?

My Silhouette 3 recently got where it won't cut through smooth htv unless I set it on glitter. I have brand new auto blade in and It cuts fine on the wrong material setting so, I know the blade is in right. Will calibrating it reset the cutting problem?
@SDIVADesigns10 ай бұрын
Calibrating is for print and cut projects. It won't do anything for other types of projects. The "recommended" settings are just a starting point. Every machine is slightly different and different factors will affect the cut settings. You will have to experiment to find the ideal settings for your machine for each material type. The best is to write them down so you will remember for next time. Also, different blade types will work differently. There have been some problems with some autoblades.

Thanks so much for these lessons. Im watching all these. I just got an SC2 cutter, and this program as well, got some practice and wasted some vinyl because the measuring threw me off. Its okay though because its practice. I wanted to ask when cutting you explained where to place it so that the cutter begins to cut in the beginning of the page where you placed your imagine. When in cut settings mine shows a purple box to where im assuming is the cartridge, Do I start my design right next to it? as oppose to placing the image right under the purple box where the cartridge is? So I can waste as less vinyl as possible, don't know if this makes sense. Thank You!
@SDIVADesigns11 ай бұрын
You will have to test because different machines have different options. I have a Puma GCC cutter and it allows me to choose "from origin" or WYSIWYG. I use from origin which starts cutting at the point of my blade. Click the cutter button and the program will preview how it will cut.

Hi im in the UK & I'm trying to make a cushion cover. I bought a png design online and i made a square shape 15" by 15" on silhouette studio design edition and set my paper to A3. I filled the square with a colour. I went to file, merge and chose my png design and sent it to my design area. Made it fit the square then i grouped it together. So when i move the square about it all moves together. Because i want to send design to my A3 printer i need to slice the design in half so i can do 2 and then tape the printed halves together to heatpress. When i slice it in half only the square behind is cutting in half and not the png design. Cant understand because ive grouped the two together. Im new to all this can you please help and tell me what im doing wrong. Thank you
@SDIVADesigns Жыл бұрын
This is very logical. The reason it doesn't work the way you want is because you are working with 2 different file types. Your PNG file is an image and your square is a vector. You might be able to edit your image in Silhouette Studio, but that will depend on how it was created. To try, choose Object, Convert to Path. Then Release Compound Path. Then create a rectangle for the final size you want the partial image. Then use Object, Modify, Crop. If it works, you will have to do that twice with the different sections to get your 2 parts. If it doesn't work, you will have to use an image editing program to crop your image to the desired measurements first. You can search Google for image editing programs. There are free ones and paid ones. You don't need that 15x15 square. Once you have your image in the shapes you want, in Silhouette Studio, you will have to set them as print and cut designs. To do that, enable the registration marks in the Page Setup panel. To see how to do that, go to kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYqsgJhuqaeqjdU

Maybe because you are on a MAC or using the free downloaded version may be why this isn't so on your system. I'm using Windows 11 and Silhouette Studio Business version. Don't know if having the business edition makes a difference, but maybe it does since the business edition can save files as a SVG.

@@maryax6139 I understand your hesitation about upgrading, but if you save all your files on your hard drive rather than only in the library, it is safe to try version 4 and then return to your current version if it doesn't work out for you. Just be sure you have the install file for the version you are using now on your computer so you can install it again after uninstalling the version you don't like. The reason you should save your files to your computer is because there have been horror stories about people losing all their files when they save only to the library.
