ItвЂ™s important to install Silhouette StudioВ® or Mint Studioв„ў on your computer before you connect your Silhouette, as it makes the setup process easier. The engineering team is currently working on a fix, so when the next update is available, all of this will be behind us. It takes a little time, but so much better than not being able to cut or having to trace png files all day. Install the legacy version 4.1.206 of Silhouette StudioВ® from В (Make sure to select on the arrow next to 'Legacy'В to view legacy versions).ДЄfter the install finishes, open a DXF in Studio to make sure your loopy messes are gone. Install Time:В Install your fresh version of Studio and test a DXF.

Once successfully removed, re-startВ the computer.

Click on the Remove or Uninstall option.

Currently their most stable version is 4.1.206 unless you're running a machine with Mac OS High Sierra (the current version) andВ you need to use Bluetooth to connect to your machine. The official recommendation of Silhouette America for DXF users at this point is to roll back your software. how do I fix this mess? I just want to cut! Here's what this part would look like after running Smooth if the loops weren't there: (To make it quicker, make sure to compound path all of your pieces first otherwise you'll have to select every piece one at a time.)

If the loops weren't there you could select a shape and click Smooth in the top menu to delete all of those extra points. You can see there are still a bunch of tiny loops. This is the same file from the first image with five timesВ the points added: Usually we fix this by adding more points to the shape before saving it as a DXF, but this time around no matter how many points you add, smaller curved areas are still going crazy. All of a sudden you're pretty four point circle is an ugly polygon. That's why sometimes you'll see a curved piece open up in DXF format as a bunch of straight lines put together.

So what's causing the issue to begin with? According to Silhouette something went wrong in the current version's rendering of DXF's.В You see, DXF files lack the ability to draw curves. So if this has happened to you, delete the old DXF files and unzip your zip files for fresh ones after following the steps below. I also found someone with the same issue who reopened their files in Inkscape and had the mess follow them back. As soon as I upgraded to version 4.1.468 while on chat with a representative from Silhouette, BAM! squiggly messes and choppy lines everywhere! Yikes! Well it ends up it was because I was still running Studio version 4.1.206. Every time I opened one of these files it looked like it should have, so what the heck?!? Could not figure out what the heck was happening. I gotta tell you, this one bugged the heck out me.

Three times in the last three weeks I've had customers send me pictures like this: Banish Twisted, Looping, Messy DXF Files Caused by the Studio 4.1.468 BugДЄlright y'all.
