Silhouette Studio 3.0.343
I just wanted to give you an update on my thoughts about the newest Silhouette Studio release (version 3.0.343 released 4/16/2014). I’m pretty happy with it. This fixed some bugs and disappointments with version 3.0.293, and more fixes will be made in future updates.
I’ve just got to say that Silhouette America truly listens to their customers. We asked, they gave. We complained, they fixed. Seriously, people were getting responses to their problems late into the night and on weekends while Silhouette support went into overdrive to handle the issues!
I’m happy to say that I think the general user will be pleased with the current version of 3.0.343. They brought back the familiar cut settings options where we could choose and see Cut, Cut Edge, and Perforate. And they have cut settings for more advanced users like Cut by Layer, Cut by Line Color, and Cut by Fill Color. (And you can now see the bold cut line preview and move the objects on that screen at the same time.)
More fixes are coming for the remaining bugs, but they have addressed all the glaring problems for the time being. I’ve been using the new and improved Studio (3.0.343) for the past six days and am happily moving on. You can still stick with the Legacy version if you’re hesitant, but I’m confident that soon the vast majority of us will be using Studio 3.0. Tutorials will be coming to help ease the transition.
Questions? Please ask.
I agree, Kelly, Silhouette support is great and they really do listen to their customers. I love my Silhouette and enjoy your creative ideas and tutorials.
I agree! I was floundering after the first install, but the upgrade has helped a lot. Also appreciate all your great ideas! Thanks.
I have been very hesitant to download the new version even with the update fixes. I guess I feel more confident since I read your post. Thanks Kelly!
FYI, I received an email asking if updates are free. Yes they are! Whether you have the basic edition of Studio or the Designer Edition of Studio, all updates are for both versions and all updates are free. No software subscriptions, no paying for a new version every year. Nice!
