If you are making a print and cut SVG file, the graphic needs to be saved in the SVG file. When the SVG Options dialog box opens, choose an option for the Image Location. When the dialog box opens, change the Format from the default Adobe Illustrator. Next click File - Save as again to save as the SVG file.ai format, just in case I need to make revisions. I like to save the image in the native Illustrator. From the Menubar, click File - Save as.When creating a print and cut file, put the cut path on a layer above the graphic. Any lines of another color or width will be printed as an image from your printer and ignored by the cutting machine. This combination tells the Silhouette not to print the line but to cut along the path. When drawing cut lines for the Silhouette R, the paths need to be set to. These SVG files may work with other cutting machines, but I don't have any way to test the results. So here are the basics steps for creating an SVG cut file in Adobe Illustrator R.
