If you’re wondering how to merge letters into one cutting file, or create
1. Download Inkscape here (it’s free!)
2. Create a document in Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or similar graphic editing program. If you are typing a word or using multiple layers, flatten the image before continuing. Save your image as a .bmp file.
3. In Inkscape, import your .bmp file (click on File, Import). Resize if necessary by positioning your mouse over one of the corners (hold down the CTRL key if you want to keep the proportions the same).
4. When you have the image at the proper size,go to Outline mode (click on View, Display mode, Outline).
5. Click Path, then Trace bitmap to make an outline of your image. You can choose from several options for colors depending on what you want. Now click OK and your outline appears.
6. Save the document (File, Save As) as a .svg file. This will allow you to return to this document for editing. Then save your file in .dfx format – that’s what you need for the Silhouette. Save it to a location on your computer that it will be easy to find when you are in the Robo Master Software.
7. Open ROBO master and import your new .dfx file (File, Load DFX). Select your newly imported file and click open.
8. Resize/reposition as necessary, and now you’re ready to cut out the image with your QuicKutz Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter!
Have fun and enjoy creating new projects with your Silhouette!!
