Sillhouette ?'s

I just got my Cameo and am superstoked! I can't wait to do a project with it!! But I have a few questions :)

1. For the free downloadable shape...does this download to your computer? or where? Can I download it to an SD card or is it something that is in your folder or whatever at sillhouetteamerica.com? (I ask because I want to download the free shapes but broke my computer at home. I do have access elsewhere but wanted to know what I all need to do.)

2. For those that do glass etching...what do you use for the stencil? I thought I saw somewhere contact paper? Just any ole cheapy work?

I know I will have more! Thanks for any info!!

Re: Sillhouette ?'s

  • You download to your library, then you can save them to the SD card if your other computer has a port, then take the SD card out and put it in the machine.  I will say, you lose the ability to size your shapes, position on the paper, etc. by doing this.  You should use the software if at all possible IMO.

    I just did my first shapes to etch, and I used the same contact paper I used to line my cabinets because I had it on hand.

  • So if I save it to my library and then when my computer gets fixed I retrieve it will that still let me resize, reposition (and leave out the SD card all together?) I really like the free shape today so I am wondering if it's worth it.

  • I believe it saves it in your account and when you log into the new computer, it pulls up your saved shapes.  I have never tried though.

I We *just* got our internet back after 8 months and after a week I decided to knock the laptop off the counter and now it's dead :( We are going to hook our desktop up we just need to get a wireless card. I'm just gonna have to cheat at work in the meantime!
