I was so excited to see this post, only when I went into my grid options I don't have the rulers and crosshairs options like yours shows :( Any suggestions??
ReplyDeleteMy rulers disappeared after the October software update. In the user's manual I found that rulers are only a feature of the Designer edition, which I have. But when I checked the software version, it no longer recognized my Designer edition. I got the key from my account at Silhouette's website, and re-entered it under the Help menu. My rulers came back! I also contacted customer support to ask them to reset my download tries, since it was a glitch in their software that required me to have to re-enter the key. They did that right away.
DeleteNo ruler icon on my page!
ReplyDeleteMine is not showing either, tried the updating account thing and no luck. Have contacted Sil via email for tech support.
ReplyDeleteI try contact to Silhouette website third times, Live chat is offline, email. They never answer back. I need to know why there are no ruler!
ReplyDeleteHi there! You will need Silhouette Studio Designer Edition or higher. Check out the upgrades at Swing Design here: https://shrsl.com/2oerf
DeleteAny suggestions on how to get my grid back? The button is selected but there is no visible grid.
ReplyDeleteI just got my new computer, and the rulers aren't in Silhouette. I have purchased the Designer Edition back in 2017 or 18. I could find NOTHING in my account at SilhouetteAmerica.com about my downloads available, my license key, or really anything about my Silhouette Cameo 3 and Software. I want my version back from my old computer.
ReplyDeleteHey there, if you login to your Silhouette America account and under account> license keys, you're not seeing your previously installed keys, I would try other email addresses you possibly created your account under.
DeleteI would like for the rulers to be able to be move across the page. A line is not a ruler.
ReplyDeleteI have designer edition so why do I not see the option to turn on the ruler? I am so confused!!!
