That's something I've just learnt about saving to an sd card then. If you don't ask questions June how will you learn?
Thanks Doreen I have always been like that, I find I learn better if I know why I am doing something, sort of then makes sense and sticks
Just been playing with the tracing of the outline for print and cut, not quite there yet though
June
Just had a look and the file format for the SD card is GSP, so thats another format
Oh well maybe I will have my curiosity satisfied one day, its no big deal I just like to know these things, used to drive my mother mad as a kid with the questions.
Ooh this is interesting. Thanks
Presumably this is the format that cutters will understand.
I wonder whether this file format will be utilised with saves from both RM and Studio?
.gst is the file format of the templates files that are downloaded from the Silhouette on-line store. You can just rename a .gst to .gsd and it works just fine.
There is no option to save as .GST only .Studio and of course, the hit the save icon by mistake and overwrite your GSD never to be opened again in RM 5.1 which would imply that saving in GSD format is possible, whether or not the powers that be choose to let us have that option or simply fix the code/programming from saving as GSD remains to be seen.
O darn I see what you mean now! so thats not an option also. Getting tired of this software.
The transparancy problem has been solved in this update. No disapearing fill anymore after touching the transparancy, and never to get it back again as a solid color. Thats nice.
Just been notified that the Trace Option is now available in the latest Silhouette Studio update available here
Just did a quick Trace outline from a Jpeg and it was pretty quick. The Auto Trace button is highlighted by the Green sq in the top right hand corner(didn't realise image would be so small, so its the fifth icon from your right hand side) and below is the panel that appears once the button is selected, then you click the Select Trace Area button and draw a box round your shape using your mouse pointer. Then you decide what kind of trace you want I choose for this example the Trace button and below is the result. I will upload to my gallery so that you can have a closer look, sorry the picture in the gallery does not give you the option to have a closer look, like it does for the other silhouette screenshots.
This autotrace function makes a compound path. Looks like a group but is not. Ungroup does not work. In order to be able to select and/or work the individual lines, you must release compound path.
I have a question - when you save inside silhouette studio - it doesn't save as .gsd? What happens to the file that once you save inside silhouette studio, that you cannot open again in robomaster?
OK, so there is no "save as" in studio to preserve the .gsd format to interface with robomaster users?
Just want to know before I start, because this isn't made clear anywhere on the Silhouette America website [in the US].
I have the robomaster 5.10 [which I downloaded before I knew I was going to get the silhouette] - will that work with the silhouette if I wanted to go that way instead of studio? Which is better [especially for print & cuts which is why I got this machine]?
Hi, Pat. I don't have 5.1 of Robomaster as I use version 5.3, but I find Silhouette Studio far easier to use for standard cutting than the Robomaster software. I've not tried a print and cut as yet in either software to be able to give you a comparison.
