Cricut

Known issues or more accurately titled: Reasons to not get a Cricut

1. Patterns sometimes import wrong and will look incorrect because shape objects or the start and end nodes are too close causing the shapes to be filled. This would be solved by setting all fills to transparent in Design Space. You cannot set fills to be transparent (for cutting) in Design Space anymore.
2. Cricut Design Space does not respect line width for svg files - you can use the offset and set it to -0.04 or similar to get around this.
3. If you use the offset effect but have objects that are closed loops as well as objects that are not closed loops it will not apply the offset to the closed loop objects. Because.
4. Sometimes Cricut doesn't care about the original dimensions of what you uploaded. This can happen primarily if your svg isn't created at 72 dpi or your png/jpg file isnt 144 dpi
5. To cut an svg file with design space you either need to have all of your pieces as their own enclosed loop objects or you have to select all, right click, attach.
6. Cropping images sucks. You either have to crop it at upload time using a very sensitive and finicky ui that you cannot fine tune or use boolean slicing after upload to cut off the part you want.
7. Design space does not use the viewbox or size properties and imports the SVG paths points directly while assuming 72 DPI for scaling as a single layer.
8. Design space expects a 144 DPI PNG file for print and cut.
