Silhouette Studio® V4 | Chapter 4 - Drawing/Editing Images

Fill Pattern Options The final fill option is used to fill any closed line images with a pattern fill. To apply pattern fills, select your closed line image and access the Fill Pattern menu by clicking on the icon shown above. You may then select any of the pattern options. Once your desired pattern fill is selected, the Advanced Options menu will allow you to adjust the pattern’s direction Horizontally or Vertically, or adjust to either a Fixed or Stretch aspect ratio. Options are provided in this menu to rotate the pattern by either simple preset degrees, or to any customized degree by either manually dragging the Angle tool or by typing in a specified degree. In addition, you have the ability to scale the pattern’s size to alter the pattern itself as it fills the selected shape. You may do this by either manually dragging the Scale Pattern bar or entering a new percentage value of how much larger or smaller you may wish to make the filled pattern. You will also have the ability to adjust the transparency of the line by manually dragging the Transparency option bar or by typing in the desired percentage of how transparent you wish the filled gradient effect to be, where 0% is solid and 100% is completely clear.
Additional patterns may be downloaded from the Silhouette Design Store.
You can create patterns from your own images by going to File > Import > Import Options. Navigate to the image you would like to use and select it. A new dialogue box appears where you can add information about the image. Press OK to add the image to the User Designs folder in your library. From there, you can drag your image onto any fillable shape on your workspace.
