With any design inside the defined cutting area, you have the option to enable or disable the cut lines. The design must be selected in order to adjust these settings. 

There are three line processing options found in the Silhouette Studio SEND Panel for enabling/disabling your cut lines: 

  • Cut
  • Cut Edge
  • No Cut

Cut all lines of the selected design, indicated by a medium weight line.


Cut only the outer line(s) of the selected design, indicated by a thick weight line.


This option will disable the cut lines of the selected design so they are not cut by the Silhouette machine, indicated by a very light weight line.


Adjusting Line Options



Unable to Select Lines

If the design is not allowing you to select certain lines, it's possible you may either need to select the design and Ungroup it in order to work with individual parts, or you may need to select the design and Release the Compound Path so that specific lines can be separated and selected individually.

You can do this as follows:

  1. Go to the Design tab to view your workspace
  2. Select the design
  3. Right-click
  4. Select Ungroup and/or Release Compound Path
