Cutting out vinyl materials

[Josie]

I tried to figure out with affinity designer can vinyl be cut while using the app on the iPad? And also I have a silhouette cutter, would that work with the app because I do t-shirts for a living?

Hi Josie

Welcome to the forums

If you export as an SVG then use that resulting file with your Vinyl Cutter software it should work!

Thanks

How do I export to the computer when the iPad has no USB port? I only get on my iPad or from the iCloud.

Hi,

You need to log into your ICloud account on your computer and download the saved SVG file from there, or use other cloud file storage options, like Dropbox to save and share files across devises. SVG files will only install on the Designer version or Buisness Silhouette software but there is an app for the software: Silhouette Studio Mobile.

Does it actually work? The reviews are really bad.

Lol's, the reviews are pretty bad.

I installed the app when it first came out and don't think i was able to log in or do anything with it with my old ipad, so deleted it. Just re-downloaded it and was able to cut a basic shape  from it, just need to make sure you have the most up to date Silhouette software, that also updates the Silhouette Link needed to connect.  Won't sync with the Library tho, so not much use if you have saved designs and the tools are pretty basic.
