Hi there, Dingbats! What a heck is that?? Silhouette Studio Software lets us use any font installed on ourPC's.   DaFont.com is one of many webisites, where you can find a lot of image/icon fonts (Dingbats). Install the Dingbat you going to use, restart Silhouette Studio, in this tutorial I use Mellow Fonts 1 Open The the text style window Type in the Dingbat font that you are going to use. Use the text tool to type in font images.  Be sure to use both capital and lower case letters since many times the lower case is the mirror image of the upper case. Remember to click outside the typing area when you are finished. To turn your Dingbat, if it is not horizontally, just grabb the litle green dot and press down Shift Key, rotate it 90° CW, and you can feel that it is like a small notch there, Release your finger from the mouse and then from shift Key,  Or you can open the Rotate window And click on the symbol. As you can see here I use the capital case &qu

Hi there, Today I have some tips for you to save your Designs to Silhouette Studio Library so you can find it again. First, you have to create your design in Silhouette Studio. In this case, I use my own design Girl-Owl. Once the design is set up, go to FILE > SAVE AS > SAVE TO LIBRARY. Once the dialog box is open, you'll need to look at the right hand side to the EDIT PROPERTIES window and complete the necessary information. If you can't see "Edit Properties" just double click on the design you going to save. File name and Description are pretty obvious, but Keywords is the part that I really wanted to share with you. Keywords is where you'll list all the keywords you can think of that pertain to this particular cut file. Keywords is what will enable you to search for this particular design without having to remember the exact title! Isn't that exciting? Be sure to list as many keywords as you can think of, better safe than sorry! A

Hi there, To make text curve around a circle in Silhouette Studio can be a little bit tricky. Open Silhouette Studio and select the Draw an Ellipse  tool. A .  In the work area draw a circle, and to make it round hold down your "shift key " in the same time        that you draw your circel. B.   Write your text, chose your fonts and text size in the Text Style Window. C.   Double click the text so you get the bright green box around it.   On the left side of the box, a little circle with directional arrows will appear.  Grab it and drag it over to the circle you drew.   The text will wrap around the circle. You can move the text to position it exactly where you want it on the circle by dragging that little circle with the arrows around the circle or inside of it to get the text to wrap around the inside of the circle. The small handle next to the litle circlecross, you can adjust how narrow you want your text to be to the circel line.
