“Start at this spot, cut a curved line to this point, go in a new direction and cut a straight line to this point, etc.” Silhouette machines can interpret those as cut commands. Vector means we’re working with types of shapes made up of points, called nodes, connected by straight and curved line segments. Silhouette Studio is a vector-based graphics program.

Today’s lesson is about how to work with text and understand the differences. That’s not what you’re doing in Silhouette. In those, you add text just to make words for someone to read or to print out. You may be used to working with text in something like a word processor or even email. You will need to select if you want an internal or external offset instead of Cricut’s slider bar.Text in Silhouette Studio is different than most other software programs. I tried the same offset measurements that I used in Cricut Design Space. It does make my PNG gigantic initially, but it’s not a problem to shrink it down to size. I opened the same Love PNG file in Silhouette Studio. Cmd + /- to zoom in and out, Alt + Drag to copy and paste, Spacebar to pan around my canvas. Another Bonus that a lot of the Illustrator keyboard shortcuts also work in Silhouette Studio. But in the short time I’ve been using Silhouette Design Studio, it has been soooo much easier for me to achieve the offsets and cut lines that I want. Right out of the gate Silhouette Design Studio blows away Cricut Design Space. Nice try Cricut, maybe try adding a smoothing option to the offset dialog box.

The offset probably works great for images with smooth edges and vectors, but that’s not always the kind of artwork I’m using. Let’s see how the Cricut offset feature does with those rough edges. But I don’t necessarily want the rough edges on my cut line. One of the things I love about watercolor are the rough little edges. To start, I uploaded a PNG file of a watercolor design I made using Procreate.

So that’s a bummer when you have to switch your project to Classic Canvas when the New Canvas is being glitchy (which seems to happen pretty frequently in past versions of Design Space, we’ll see how the newest update has improved). You MUST be in the NEW Canvas Style, it is not available in the Classic Canvas setting. Some things to take note of for using offset in Design Space: According to the Offset pop up window this feature is still in Beta. Here’s a quick little comparison of the offset feature in Cricut Design Space vs in Silhouette Design Studio.įor the offset feature in Cricut Design Space I’m using the most current version to date 6.6.112. Cricut users have been asking for an offset feature for years and Cricut finally announced offset is available in Design Space.
