NOTES:  SVG files can only be opened in Silhouette Studio with Silhouette Studio Designer Edition or higher (DE+ or BE).

PNGs can be opened, but will need to be traced in Silhouette Studio to create cut lines.  DXF files will open, but not in full color.

The design will open in a new work space.  If the file is an SVG, the cut lines will need to be turned on through the Send Panel. 

If the design is the PNG file type, the design will need to be traced before it can be cut.  The design is now ready to be cut and then saved to your Silhouette Studio library by going to File > Save As > Save to Library.  Select the folder or sub folder where you would like the design to save and click "Okay."
