Great tut! One thing I would suggest, because I'm picky about it, lol. When bringing in the layers (with the easier method) instead of moving them around, hide them. That way they're all lined up correctly.

@jockabbs33 7 жыл бұрын

I assume by now you will have found out how to write with the cricut machine. If not, look on the Menu panel where it says: ADD TEXT click on that and then type your preferred text. Over on the Layers Panel, you will see the first letter of the first word you typed and by default it will be set for the Cut option. You need to click on the little scissors icon which will bring up the Layers Attributes window where you can then choose to either Print - Write - Score or Cut. Choose Write and then put a cricut pen in the 'A' holder on your cricut machine and you are good to go. You don't have to stick to using cricut pens as there are plenty other pens you can use such as the multi-coloured Gel sets, Sharpie's etc but you do need to purchase a pen adapters to be able to use these other types from "Chomas Creations." Type that into Google and it will take you to the website. Amy is the name of the lady you will be dealing with. Hope this helps.

How do you print the color layers once you have the design ready?

@jockabbs33 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Melissa, I don't know if you ever got an answer to your question re: how to print the color layers once you have the design image ready. When 1st uploading the image there are 2 options for saving it. (1) Save as Print & Cut image and (2) Save as Cut only image. If you save using the 1st option, when you are ready to Print & then Cut the image, Design Space will ask you to Print the image first by sending the image to your printer. So make sure you have your printer turned on and, placed a sheet of your chosen cardstock into your printer and then simply follow the instructions on design space. After your printer has printed image on the cardstock you will see your image surrounded by 3 L shaped black lines. You then place your cardstock on your cutting mat and load into your cricut machine. The 3 L shapes are for the laser to accurately determine the precise position of the image for the blade to cut it out. If you have an image which only has the cut option available, you can duplicate it in design space and change the option from cut to Print and the same procedure as above applies. Hope this helps.

@pattibaileydesigns 8 жыл бұрын

I also can't get it to function as you do. I download the image from Google and save it to my computer. I then upload the image, select "simple image", in the "Select and erase section". I erase the sections that I want erased, but the issue is "Preserve original image within shape" check box appears to no longer be available and I think that is what is causing the issues we are having. There is no longer a way to have the red cut line appear. Saving it as a cut image doesn't produce what we need.

OK Patti, no problem. If there is an alternative action we can do in the absence of Preserve image and I find out what it is I will let you know. Unfortunately, there are a lot of tutorials which have been done using older versions of design space which leave us wondering what should we do when some of the option on the new version are not available. Thanks incidentally for getting back to me. Best regards, John.

@kathyneuberger5702 6 жыл бұрын

If you go to help.cricut.com/help/design-space-contour it shows you that the contour/hide contour option is now in the lower right corner of the design space, rather than when you right-click. I don't think you need the "preserve original image" anymore, though I am still playing with it. Maybe this will help someone to be able to use the newer version of the design space.
