Let me start to say THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so new to using my cameo 5 never had a cutting machine and just want to have fun to do some projects and don't need more than basic edition. So MASSIVE Thank you for this!
Thank you so much! My computer did not want to save any DXF files, but I could use convertio and make a SVG into DXF that way! This have saved me sooo much time and wondering. Because somehow, beyond my knowledge I have managed to make a SVG my silhouette have accepted earlier trough incscape. But I never remember how, it just takes maaany attempts and a lot of time. Today, after knowing about the file Silhouette accepts it takes so much less time! I can enjoy it now! 😁 You have ended my suffering! 🤭
This video was extremely helpful! I have Silhouette Studio Basic Edition and the free SVG files were in importing. Well, this video saved the day. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I need to learn how to use my Silhouette machines and since I am just a beginner, I didn't want to jump in with a program that was too much for this newbie. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for posting. I loved that I was able to see the person talking! It felt like you were talking right to me. I subscribed to your channel and can't wait to watch more videos. Happy New Year!
Then you will love my new venture. A full community for learning creating and business. I will be launching soon. Blog, forums, courses. Stay tuned!!! ~~Holly
Just what I needed. Thank you. The size is a little off, but going to play with some settings to try and figure that out. I create exact size in inkscape and it is a little smaller in Sil Studios. Great video.
Hi Holly, when I get to my "save as" dxf file, it gives me 2 choices. The first one is "desktop cutting plotter (Auto cad DXF R12 (*dxf) the second option is "desktop cutting plotter (Auto cad DXF R14 (*dxf). I have a Shiloutte Cameo 3 if that makes any difference. I don't know which one to pick, can you help me?
Hi For Cameo you need DXF if you sent have Designer edition. I would try them both. I have not seen that. If you upgrade to business edition, you can save toSVG. The upgrade isn't very expensive and if you are going to do alot of designing it will save you heartaches. Hope that helps. Sorry for the delay I was out of town no Internet. 8-/ ~~Holly
I make packaging mock-ups with a Cricut Maker before and I use Illustrator to create my dielines with two layers separated as cut and another, score which I then save it as a .svg with the two layer included. In Cricut's Design space, I just import my .svg file with the cut and score layers and just easily have Design Space determine which layer is which and just cut and score my dielines. I was thinking of trying the Cameo 4 which has a 24" version but I was wondering if I can have cut and score from a .dxf file into free the Silhouette Studio Basic edition like I can in Cricut, or will I be required to upgrade to a paid version in order to use one feature I needed?
I believe you can bring in dxf. The score feature is different in cameo software. It is dashed lines. I can check to see if the import will work. ~~Holly
@@hollypike6363 is the paid version of the software a one time fee and can I use the code or license on multiple computers and devices without any issues?
