Silhouette Cameo

the software that comes with this machine - is it any good ?

or should i look into other software for it ?

[bms]

Software that comes as standard is great. You can outline cut around imported images, cut any font any size and you can import dxf vector files. I've used this software now for 6+ years.

Can you import eps to this software?

Can you import eps to this software?

hey. i was gonna ask that one lol - and it would be handy to know !

[Paul]

yeah! if eps can be imported then you can design in any more advanced software and then print via cameo

[bms]

you can import dxf vector files

dxf only supported import into the software, but I think this is a standard export option for many vector software.

If you create your design in Corel something else and save as jpg then import into your Silhouette Studio Library. You can open it trace and then convert to Studio software, then you can do whatever with it, Ie: resize, Rotate, reshape or anything else that can be done with the Silhouette designs. Then you can send it to cut.

yeah. but this mean job need to be done twice. I am not big fan of tracing method. Only as a last resort.

@Martin(BMS) - can you get the PRO version of the software for the silouette ?
i seen the cameo for sale somewhere else with the option to "upgrade" the software to the pro version that does rhinestones and various other features as well for extra £24-29.....just cant remember where i seen it..

you could even fire it in with the cameo as a wee extra brucy bonus for buying it - hint hint

I have the pro version of Silhouette Studio, and it doesn't load or import .eps files.
