I must count boxes like 10 times to ensure I'm placing my material on the same exact spot on my mat as it is in Studio. Well, no more because I just discovered Silhouette Studio actually has the boxes numbered. I mean they could make them a little bigger...but they're there!! I'm honestly not sure if this is a feature of the latest version of V3 or if I just never noticed them before (you'll see why in a minute)...
So if you're working in Silhouette Studio and you don't have the grid lines revealed this is what you're work space looks like. Just plain ol' white.
When it's time for lining things up you can reveal the grid lines by sliding over the bar to reveal the cutting mat. The boxes correlate perfectly with Silhouette cutting mat...each square on both the mat and the virtual mat is one square inch.
BUT I just realized that if you look really, really, really closely you can see that the boxes along the top and left side area actually numbered..you just need a microscope or a magnifying glass to see them! I mean any chance you can spare a larger font, SA? ;)
Day made!

Thanks for coming to class today at Silhouette School. If you like what you see, I'd love for you to pin it!
Thanks for the tip.......better late than never. Love the idea of no more counting!
ReplyDeleteI never tried the "reveal" option, and now I can see through the page to see the grid and the numbers. This is going to be so helpful. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhy does the screen have to get so dark to reveal the numbers? It makes it very difficult to see!
ReplyDeleteThank-you! Great tutorial, I have wondered why there were no numbers on the Silhouette grid. In the past I just manually counted the squares. This is so much easier.
ReplyDeletedo you have to have the designer program
ReplyDeleteMy icons across the top right are not the same as yours. I do not have a 'page setting' icon. I have updated my Silhouette Cameo and it says that I have the most current version. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteIf you have the basic software that came with the machine than it is the icon to the left of the registration marks window. It is called Design Page Settings. It is the option under Cutting Mat called Reveal. Just found it myself :)
DeleteThank you so much, Monique! I was playing around with the Reveal and it looked like it was just making the mat a darker shade. I didn't realize the numbers were showing up.
DeleteWow! I knew this had to exist!! Thank you, thank you!
ReplyDeleteOooooh!!!!! Thank you SO much!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
ReplyDeleteThis is so fabulous!! I count and re-count all the time!
ReplyDeleteActually, they could make ALL the light blue darker, also. I had found these numbers, but agreed, they are very faded out. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! Ah!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! Ah!!
ReplyDeleteI guess I am just stupid. When I zoom my mat no numbers. What am I doing wrong.
ReplyDeleteHOw can you make it stay like that Every time u go back the mat solid white again I hate that!!
