How Do You Change A Duoble Line On A Traced Image To A Single Line On Silhouette

Today's lesson is on tracing and how to avoid the dreaded double line trace in Silhouette Studio. Did you ever try to trace an paradigm only to get a double cutting line ? Of course you have...the default settings in Silhouette Studio are essentially set up that way which, in my honest opinion, makes no sense.

This easy ready will first show yous why you're getting the double line and then take you through the one simple pace to set up it so you only get the single cutting line when you trace.

Let'due south start from the beginning...so bring your pattern into Silhouette Studio. I'm using a basic ribbon that I found in PicMonkey and saved as a jpeg.  (Click here for the tutorial on bringing whatsoever jpeg/gif into Silhouette Studio). Equally you can see, the basic outline trace won't work for this pattern because of the inner circle.

At present if I Open up the Trace Window > Select Trace Area > Highlight the design > Click 'Trace'....

South

This is the trace I become...Ehhhh no thanks with all those double cut lines!

What the program is doing is actually drawing a cut line on either side of that yellowish trace line - as thin as it is.  The problem is that the default settings accept 'High Laissez passer Filter' checked.

Now that I've showed you lot why you are getting the double line trace, I'm going to testify you the easy fix.  Ready??

Okay echo the tracing process Open the Trace Window > Select Trace Area > Highlight the design.  Before you click 'Trace', uncheck the High Pass Filter box.  Now your trace volition expect something similar this!

Since the cut lines continue either side of the xanthous trace surface area this is the resulting unmarried line trace...

That's a much better trace, wouldn't y'all say?!
