I haven’t used my silhouette in several months, but set it up yesterday and updated the software to the most current edition.
I’m running into quite a few issues that I’ve never had before.
The biggest pain is the fact that it will not cut the full 12.” I’m trying to cut some borders for sb pages and the largest I can make them without going outside the cut line is about 11.8”. I’ve tried ignoring the cut line and sending it to cut anyway, because the paper it there, in all it’s 12x12 glory, but it will still stop at the imaginary line!
I’ve checked the page set up settings, it’s all set to Cameo 12 x 12 mat as well as paper.
What am I missing?

There's a video on Youtube somewhere called "10 things you didn't know about your Silhouette" or something like that, where there was a checkbox you could check that would make the machine cut right to the edge of the 12 by 12 grid. I can't remember what menu you had to go into the find that option... My problem is, if I close the software, when I open it again it has reverted back to a Portrait sized mat (on my screen) and the gridlines turn off. Ok here's the video, but the setting under edit, preferences, defaults and scroll down and check the 'cut to edge of page' button. I hope that solves your problem. |

I've restarted my computer, I've restarted the Silhouette, this is just weird. I keep thinking it's because I'm rusty and am forgetting something obvious. But there's other weird stuff as well. |

No, I've looked all over and online, and can't figure out why my machine keeps doing that. At least now I know it's not just me. I edited my previous post with a possible solution to your problem. Hope it helps. |
