![]() As you will see, it's a 'Symbol in block_2' (as are many others I have found online). I've also attached a DXF that I downloaded. I've attached one of my SVG designs, the loading and not responding messages, a zoomed in image of mangled nodes in my design in Silhouette (this one took about 15 seconds to load). I had no issues with the DXFs initially - the same ones I have issues with now, which is the strange part to me. ![]() I do the checks of the EPS and PNG in Photoshop (no issues). I used (SVG to DXF) with success, but would prefer not to have to use it. Using Plain SVG works best for Cricut, but makes no difference in my DXF in Silhouette. Still I tried this as well as not doing Union. I have read (mostly cut file users' blogs) that grouping should not be used, but I found no reason why as elements easily ungroup. (Union doesn't really work in Silhouette basic.) I delete any excess nodes then I group everything together and save as SVG, DXF, EPS, and export PNG - in that order. I then use Difference in some places (to save the user vinyl) and Union similar elements for ease of applying color. I use Object and Stroke to Path as applicable. I create from Inkscape using mostly the pen and shapes - no use of any images, tracing, or text. I don't know any scripts or command lines - am not that advanced in Inkscape. I had a learning curve on this and initially revised multiple times to improve lines. My checks are only for quality/useability of the design. In Silhouette's FAQ I found under: "Software Crash on Initializing OR Loading Icons OR Generating Cut Job" they say to: "Delete the Folder _Studio (and) Empty the Recycle Bin." I've done that twice.ĭepending on how long the loading goes on, it can show "Not Responding" in the file name at the top. So if you can explain the "path" which a single file takes, step by step, either from the point when you finish drawing it and save the file, or from the point when you download it to the point where the problem occurs, we can hopefully find the problem.Īlso, please share one of the files with us - the SVG file, and if you're downloading a different format, please share that one too. But I'm not sure if that solution would apply in your case. We might have a solution for that, if it can't be avoided. In some file conversions, we do see that paths have somehow been broken up into a multitude of short, 2-node paths. Is this "loading message" some kind of error message? Does it just say it's taking too long, or something else? Also, when you "check" the files, what are you checking them for? Are you looking for something, making sure the files are ok? Or it is some kind of editing?Ĭan you tell us specifically the steps you're taking? Something about your explanation gives me the idea you're using a script, or possibly commandline for some of this.Īre these files which you've downloaded from somewhere? Or did you draw them yourself? Or maybe both? Is SVG to DXF the only format conversion in this process? I appreciate your diligent troubleshooting! Let me make sure I understand the problem. I hope someone has a clue what is going on. I've spent days searching and seems even Google can't find this problem, let alone the solution, but did manage to get me here where I can't find it either. That does not explain the broken lines of the files in Inkscape so I guess this is originating there but like I said, the files are fine in Cricut (free version). I see no option to go back to a prior version. I think, but am not sure, that I saw an auto-update in SB right before this happened. 64-bit operating system, 8GB Ram, and 2 antivirus programs. I have no problems with the SVG, EPS, or PNG files. I tried that and got a blank screen in SB (no loading message). I saw that some of the others' DXF files were Symbols (in the status bar). I've saved as Grouped, Ungrouped, and Union. I've tested a very simple (3 shapes converted to paths) file. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Inkscape. I've uninstalled and reinstalled SB twice and deleted a file their site says to delete when getting the loading message. ![]() There are no gradient or patterns in the designs. When I check the DXF in Inkscape it is broken into very small (2 node) pieces. There are no problems with my DXF files in Cricut. When I convert my files using an online SVG to DXF service, they are fine in SB. Other files (not ones I created) do not have this problem. Now it can take up to 90 seconds for a file to load and once it does, it has mangled nodes - twists and clumps.Īll the files I previous checked have this problem now. All was well until I got a 'loading' message in SB. As I went, I checked each file (over 50) in Silhouette Basic (SB). I began creating cut files in Inkscape (92.3) (Windows 10) for my shop. Sorry my 1st post is a cry for help, but I'm at my wits end.
