Workaround #4 6) Workaround Method #4: Trying the same technique in Make-The-Cut as Inkscape, it renders similar results. However, when you add the new library version to a new file, all the colors have their own layers! Workaround #3 5) Workaround Method #3: Creating a new SVG through opening the file and Saving As in Inkscape makes it only one layer and it starts out as grouped. Workaround #2 4) Workaround Method #2: You start over and this time to try to ungroup the SVG after you drag and drop it into the program and save it to the library hoping it would only save the only necessary layer. Workaround #1 3) Workaround Method #1: You try to cut and paste the imported SVG to fix the layering issue and it moves the groups out of the layers into the main layer, but does not delete the empty layers. I have used only one SVG for all the tests, a girl from Strawberry Kisses, a recent freebie from Lettering Delights.ġ) What you start out with 2) You drag and drop your SVG into V3. I’ll be demonstrating how the layers currently work through how it currently is and the workaround. Last night, I realized that’s the key to the workaround. It was a waste of time because they don’t touch what is wrong.īack when I was trying to get along without the designer edition, I found a SVG to DXF plugin and to convert an SVG involved ungrouping the layers before saving. Instead, I went all gung-ho and tried multiple converters and attempted to use the command line to batch convert. I already knew the solution from past experiences. It wasn’t until late in the night that I had been going about it all wrong. I spent on and off yesterday actively working on and passively thinking about this problem. This is a designer edition only feature! This is one of the reasons why they say you should upgrade! Layers are so broken that even basic users are affected by it, but they can’t see the layers window to know what is going on. Now we have this pink elephant in the room that’s turned red because it’s an embarrassment that they would release layers still being broken. I was going to post my first impressions of V3 with many good comments about it, but the layer problem has taken all the attention. Re-saving in MTC or Inkscape puts all the colors in one layer. In the SVG directly imported to V3, each color had its own layer while also being in another layer. I also found out what the difference was between the files. I figured out you could re-save the SVG’s in Inkscape or Make-The-Cut first before importing to make it work like it does in V2. The party stopped altogether once the realization hit that some SVG’s could not be manipulated as they once were–at least, not without having to use a workaround. The momentum kept up during the first impressions, but then, while digging a little deeper, problems started coming up. The new products had been posted on the previous Friday and since learning that we would have to upgrade to use the new mats, most were trying to be optimistic about it. The week started off with on a high note.
