This feature is included in the Basic Edition and above.
Text copied from other applications can be pasted directly into the Silhouette Studio software.
Pasting Text
To paste text into Silhouette Studio:
- Open Silhouette Studio
- Open the other program or source from where the text will be copied
- Select the desired text
- With the text highlighted, hold down [Ctrl]+C on the keyboard, or right-click and select 'Copy' (this copies the text)
- Go back to Silhouette Studio
- Click in the design area
- Hold down [Ctrl]+V on the keyboard, or right-click and select 'Paste' (this pastes the text)
NOTE: You do not need to access any Text cursor or Text Edit panel tools for this action. Pasting is performed without selecting any specific software tools.
Your intended text should appear in your design area. The font style will default to the first font found in the program (usually 'Ariel') at a 72-point font size.
You can resize and adjust the text as desired.
Pasting Limitation
If the intended text does not show up after following the above steps, this indicates that too much text was selected. Silhouette Studio has a limitation on how much information can be pasted into the software.
If such is the case, you will need to copy and paste smaller strings of text in smaller sections, rather than a larger section of text all at once.
