Thanks for the clear easy directions. Just starting with vinyl cutting and this makes working with larger projects much easier.

Thanks for sharing. I was using a separate program to tile.

Can I ask the name of your separate program please?

Hi. Great video with easy to understand directions. I have a question you may not have run into before. Can I save the individual tiles as separate SVGs to export? I have silhouette studio business edition So that I can make SVG files for both my Cricut and Glowforge machines. I do not have a silhouette cutting machine. I need to set custom tile areas so as not to divide the image in an inconvenient area. Is there any way to export these tiles or save them as SVGs? TIA for any insights you may have.

I can't confirm deny, but you may be able to use the knife too and cut along the tile borders to separate the overall paths to individual paths and worry about exporting as svgs from there

@@JFloridaTech would also like to know if you're able to export each tile as their individual SVG files. I haven't purchased Silhouette yet.

[@stevenmarston8923]

@@JFloridaTech Have you had time to determine whether the individual tiles can be exported as individual SVG's?

@@stevenmarston8923 thank you so much for replying! I looked for this thread recently and couldn’t find it 😵‍💫 to confirm Silhouette studio did NOT allow me to export the individual tiles to individual tiles. BUT, with the overlay of the tiles in Silhouette studio you could manually use the knife tool along the the tiles to break your overall shape to the individual squares. From there, yes you can export your individual selected “grids”. Also, I found that in Adobe illustrator there are tools to do this more efficiently

Does this feature with with PTC, or grouped vectors?

Took me forever getting the tiles to lay out correctly (just 2 tiles on a 8.5" x 24" layout)), but I finally got it by typing in the values repeatedly until they showed the correct layout. I am ready to Send. Now I have anxiety because it shows the entire design going to cut. Will it Pause between tiles to change out the vinyl? I guess I'll find out.

[@isherwoodme]

Yup. I left the room while it was cutting and got distracted. Sure enough it cut both tiles on the same vinyl. :( I'll try again and manually pause the machine after the first tile is cut and see if can put a new piece of vinyl on the carrier.

[@isherwoodme]

Okay, in the Media Layout Setup popup at the bottom, you can select which Tile to cut. So, I just selected Tile 1 to cut, then went back after that was done to cut tile 2.

[@carolecoffman5242]

how would you do it if using bigger sizes

[@marilynjack6031]

Everytime I try to listen to one of the silhouette inks videos it starts off and then it just goes to the spinning like I have no internet or something I don't get it I find it very hard to learn that way
