Right-click on the SVG file again, and once again scroll down to “Open with,” hover over to get the flyout menu, and click on “Choose another app.”

Minimize the program, then go back to your folder full of files. Silhouette Studio should start up, and your computer will open your SVG file in a new artboard.
#HOW TO USE INKSCAPE TO CREATE CRICUT FILES PC#
This is where I found Silhouette Studio on my PC the location of that EXE file on your computer may be different.Ĭlick on the program, then click the “Open” button. When you click on that “Look for another app on this PC” link, then click the big OK button, you’ll most likely be put into the C>Program Files folder.įrom there, go into the Silhouette America folder, and then into the Silhouette Studio folder. You’ll need to find where Silhouette Studio’s EXE file is living on your computer. Now, the fun part: hunting for where Silhouette Studio and Cricut Design Space live: Scroll to the bottom of this larger list of programs, and click on the blue “Look for another app on this PC” link at the bottom. You’ll need to dig even deeper to find those. This gives you an even larger list of possible programs, but neither Silhouette Studio nor Cricut Design Space will be in there. Scroll down to the bottom of that list, and you’ll see a blue “More apps” link. You’ll then get this window, with an even larger list of options. Deal with it.)įrom here, go to the bottom of that flyout and click on “Choose another app.” Your computer will give you a few options for programs it thinks you’ll want to open this file type with, including every web browser you have installed.
Hover your mouse over “Open with,” and you’ll get the flyout menu on the right. Right-click on the SVG file, and you’ll get the pop-up menu on the left. However, the computer is still thinking that the file is an HTML document. It’s that easy! Now you can see that the SVG file isn’t just called “Sample-File” - now it’s called “Sample-File.svg.” First, click on the “View” tab at the top, and then go over and tick the box next to “File name extensions” so that a checkmark appears. The simplest way to fix this issue is to turn on file extensions, so you can truly see the file type on each of these. But what you can’t really tell from this view is that the HTML file in this screenshot is actually an SVG file! The “Type” column shows that this folder contains DXF, EPS, PNG … and HTML files. Here’s an example of what some folks see when they open up a folder full of design files. You can make this any program you want: Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Inkscape, Silhouette Studio, Cricut Design Space, or one of dozens of other graphics programs that can handle SVG files.
#HOW TO USE INKSCAPE TO CREATE CRICUT FILES WINDOWS#
What we need to do is go in and tell Windows exactly what program we want it to associate with SVG files. Which is great if you’re using SVG files on the web, but not so great if you’d like to use them in a vector design program or cutting machine program. So Windows still figures, “Heck, guess we’ll just say the default web browser will handle that.” Then Windows dusts off its hands and pats itself on the back for a job well done. SVG files, which are now used a lot for vector graphics in cutting machines, actually started out as a web file format.
Almost every time, Windows has a built-in program that can handle any type of file (though you can change that using this guide). So what’s going on? Well, Windows likes to associate one program with one file type, so it’s always ready to open the appropriate program when you double-click on a file. The SVG files will even have a browser icon (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, etc.) on them.
One that I see come up a lot is SVG files, which are graphics … but Windows computers want to open them up with a web browser. I hear you young people like videos!Ĭomputers are weird, am I right? Sometimes they want to open up files with the strangest programs. It’s refreshed to include Cricut Design Space users!ĭouble-updated for 2021! I’ve made a video about this SVG/HTML issue, which you can find at my YouTube channel.
