Silhouette owners...

Have you tried the new Silhouette Studio software? What do you think of it?

I just found out about it yesterday so I downloaded and installed it. I have to say, I LOVE it! I can finally sort my cut files into folders and it's much easier to creat cut files for digital elements. I'm a happy girl, so I may not be selling it afterall.

Mine was for a while because the software just wasn't use friendly, but I think I'll be playing with it much more now.

I've only had the chance to use it once but I liked it much better! I can't figure out how to get my fonts to load though (the ones purchased through them). I hope to play with it this weekend some more, I want to try the print and cut feature!

When you have your "My Library" open are any of your purchased fonts showing in your "My Fonts" folder? If not, then go to the Silhouette Studio fold on your harddrive (it should be in your program files folder) and there is an Install Fonts.exe. Double click on it and it will install your fonts.

Once your fonts are visible in the My Fonts folder you can access them via the text tool. It's a bit weird, but the My Fonts folder is merely there for viewing what fonts you actually have purchased. To use them you have to use the text tool.

I've been using the old software from my PC laptop so far, but after reading this I finally installed the new software on my Mac.
And I cannot find the trace feature either, making this useless for cutting all my digi goodies! I guess I will keep hooking the Silhouette up to my laptop with the old software...

They are working on the Trace feature and it should be included with an update sometime in the next few weeks.
