Go to Open and find the PDF design where you’ve saved it on your computer. Now let’s look at opening a PDF in Designer Edition. Again, it will depend on how the design was created. Ungroup, fill with color, resize, or whatever you want. In the Design view, you can treat an SVG design as any other design in Silhouette Studio®. With the design selected we can choose Cut or Cut Edge. This time when we go to the Send panel, the cut lines are not turned on. Many SVGs import with a 1.0 line thickness, which is good for viewing or printing, but we only need 0.0 to cut. You can find Line Thickness on the Quick-access Toolbar or over in the Line Style Panel. Let’s select it and check the line thickness. Now we’ll open another SVG, and you’ll see this one’s a little different than the previous design. Let’s check the cut preview lines in the Send panel. We’ve opened this Fall Leaves file, and you can see it’s ready to cut as it is. The software should find it when Designer Edition is activated, but if you’re on a PC, you may need to select the file type you’re trying to open and select the SVG option.
Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition gives you the ability to open SVG or PDF files that have been created in other software programs. To access this feature in the Designer Edition, go to the Open icon.
