Now you can cut each layer out on a different color of vinyl using the cut by fill method mentioned above. Once you have the words separated, you can fill each one with a color by selecting the word, going to the fill panel, and selecting a color for each word/layer. Since each word is now separate from the others, each word is on a separate layer.
In the science example, clicking ungroup separates the text, the flasks, the liquid and the bubbles into different layers. This will separate the file into layers based on how it was grouped together by the designer. Repeat this process for each color.īut what if you don’t want to cut the file out like it is shown? What if, for example, you want to cut the word “science” out in a different color. This will then bring up a list of all the colors in the design and you can check the box next to the color you want to cut. Since the design is already set up like this, all you have to do is go to the “SEND” panel and hit “FILL”. Let’s say you are using this file and want to cut out the text and flasks in one color, the liquid in a second color and the bubbles in a third color, just as it is shown in the photo above. You can get this file in my school-thermed svg bundle. If the design is colored and you want to cut it out exactly as it is made, you’re in luck because there is an easy way to do that without manipulating the file. But what if you want to cut different parts of the design in different colors/materials? This is when you need to separate the svg file into layers. If you leave it that way, you will only be able to use one type of material to cut out the entire file. If you select the file, it all moves as one piece. When you open an SVG file in Silhouette Studio, all the layers will be grouped together. It’s an easy process so don’t be intimidated.
