Silhouette Studio® V4 | Chapter 14 - Business Edition Features
104
14.4 Tiling Feature The Silhouette Studio® Business Edition provides an automated Tiling feature.
The Tiling feature provides a method by which a larger job can be cut from a series of smaller tiles which are then assembled after the cutting process is completed in order to create the larger scale job. By example, the Tiling feature will allow the user to design a large scale image of 24 inches height by 24 inches width and cut it out in several passes. Even though such a material size cannot be cut in a single pass due to the Silhouette’s maximum cutting width limitation of 12 inches, the Tiling feature will automatically segment the job into a series of smaller jobs that can be cut out and then assembled to achieve the final 24 inch by 24 inch project.
The Tiling feature is available only when running the Business Edition version in the Media Layout mode.
While the original design can retain its original design layout, the Tiling option will provide a method to re-arrange the design to be cut in a series of multiple panels, thus allowing the target project which is larger than the media being used to be successfully created in a series of multiple smaller jobs.
The following options are available in the Tiling panel:
Tiling Active This option turns the feature on or off as desired. The option can be combined with other Business Edition features, such as Media Layout Nesting and Matrix Copy. (NOTE: This the processed design shown in the Media Layout View will only change to multiple panels if the image exceeds the available cutting area.)
When Tiling is active, the Design View will display a series of numbered tiles to display how the project will be split up into the resulting cut jobs.
These tiles can be controlled by the following further available tools found in the Tiling panel:
