CDxyz53 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I created a shape and converted to curves. I then duplicated the curve and flipped it horizontally. My problem is when I save the design as an SVG it 1. will not open in chrome and 2. when I upload to Cricut the flipped curved shape is screwed up and greatly distorted. This happens every time I use the flip feature. Is there some step I can do to be able to save as a SVG? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try resetting the orientation of the flipped copy by selecting it and clicking on the ‘Add’ button in the Geometry section of the toolbar.

My first guess from what you say is in the More, there is a Flatten Transforms that could help.

I didn't realize you meant "more" in the export screen but thank you! That fixed the problem 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ‘Add’ operation adds layers together, so the disappearance from the Layers panel is expected. The disappearance from the canvas, however, is not. 5 hours ago, CDxyz53 said: Where do I find this?
