14.2 Ai/EPS/CDR file compatibility The Silhouette Studio® Business Edition provides the ability to open Ai, EPS, and CDR files directly which have been created from other major vector imaging software programs (such as Adobe Illustrator® or CorelDraw®). To access this feature in the Business Edition, go to the File menu and select Open. If on a PC, you will need to select the file type you are seeking to open and select the Ai, EPS, or CDR option. You may either select to cut by layer and simply enable the desired layers, or opt to cut by line color and either enable the “no color” line to be cut or re-color your lines as desired using the Line Color tool.
You may alternately opt to use the Silhouette Connect™ program to cut these files from their native software programs.
14.3 Design View vs. Media Layout View Silhouette Studio® Business Edition provides a different view option to enable users to view both the original Design View of how images are laid out from a design aspect and a Media Layout View of how lines are processed to actually appear in the resulting cut job. While the traditional “what you see is what you get” Design View can be utilized and jobs processed in this manner when using the Business Edition, there is an additional option to change to the Media Layout View in order to maximize efficiency of laying out designs to be cut on specialty materials commonly used in business settings. This side-by-side view capability provides access to further Business Edition features, such as Matrix Copy options, Media Layout Nesting, and Tiling. Design View Selecting this option will put the software into the traditional single pane view and have objects cut out as they have been placed in their original design. Media Layout View Selecting this option will provide a side-by-side view of your original layout (Design View on the left-hand side of the screen), and a view of the way your job will be processed to cut to your media, or material that is being cut (Media Layout View on the right-hand side of the screen).
