![]() ![]() So, many are asking if Silhouette Studio version 4.2 has a 64-bit option. All future Mac OSx versions will run 64-bit programs only. Mojave is the current OSx version (10.14) and it runs 32-bit programs, but it is the last one that will. Silhouette Studio is currently a 32-bit program. I know that some of you have Macs and are aware that Apple is discontinuing support for 32-bit applications. It’s just been too problematic and slow to continue doing it through the software. From here on out, when you click on the Store tab in the software it will open up your internet browser with the Silhouette Design Store instead of opening it within the software. Silhouette America didn’t list this on the release notes, but it’s something you need to know about. If you need to know how to update, check this post. Edition toggling to switch between different levels of the software (great for those of us who teach).Font creation tool to make your own fonts from either your handwriting or the drawing tools.Puzzle generator to turn photos into puzzles.Flexishapes to add and edit more shapes than the standard circle, rectangle, rounded rectangle and regular polygon.option to work offline so the library isn’t constantly syncing with the design store.ability to take a snapshot of your current library so you can revert to it if anything happens to your library.ability to keep local user folders and account (cloud) folders in a single area or export local user to your hard drive.new way to import your library from a different computer.return of the split view to see the library and design page at the same time.more ways to filter searches, ability to designate a design as a favorite.ability to make the pictures of the designs bigger.Automated print bleeds for Print and Cut projects.This helps me to be able to keep my business going and provide more tutorials.

You can find release notes here that tell you what features have been added. Specifically, it’s 4.2.279 and you can find it on the Silhouette America website here. Let me know if I've missed anything significant in the process.Just a quick word to let you know that version 4.2 is out as the regular current version of the Silhouette Studio software as of this morning. If not, I'll fake up an example later tonight when I get home and get access to AD. afdesign file, I'll modify it appropriately and re-post it with matching steps. cutting shape (vector curve layer) (silhouette) Your layers should now be a simple structure of: So, in your example, you have two circular vector cutting shapes, one rectangular vector cutting shape, one "ribbon"-shaped vector cutting shape, and absolutely everything else is a bitmap layer "inside" each corresponding vector shape. ![]() Drag all rasterised/texture layers "inside" their appropriate vector cutting shape layer in the layer panel (so the vector shape also acts as an AD clipping shape). Another probably not necessary step: convert all vector shapes to curves.Ħ. Your upper left white circle should still be a vector shape, as should the outer circle on the upper right.ĥ. In your example, create a rectangle vector shape for the outline of the bottom right image, and a vector "ribbon" shape for the outline of your lower left image. ![]() 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. 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. ![]()
