Apparently adding an svg to the library crashed the program so they have retuned it to closed beta. I never even noticed as I don't save stuff to my library.

Thanks Shirley, not something I do either.

I was hoping the new beta rectified my problem of print lines always in portrait. It's a pain when I use print & cut I have to change it to landscape in the printer's settings. My computer screen is 22in wide so I always use Studio in landscape. I can see everything up close without having to scroll down and I always lay my A4 paper/card across my cutting mat too for cutting.

I don't think it has been fixed. I always use landscape too and when I open a new document the print border is showing as it should BUT if I change to portrait the print border is still landscape so I have to change that in printer settings then when I go back to Landscape it shows portrait so I have to change it back again in print settings but once changed it does stay in landscape for new documents. I've just looked at the bug tickets in the Beta group and it is still listed as active so they must still be working on it. Hope this makes sense !!

Thanks Shirley. I don't have that problem. I click on print and a preview window comes up so then click on print and my normal settings box appears where I change it to landscape. Then tell it to print.

With this one I just wanted the registration markings for a peacock I foil first and then want to cut. I foil first using the WRMK metal mat. Take it off it off and put it on the cutting mat to cut.

I’m not at my machine at the mo but in your first photo I click on settings next to print and change the orientation in the box that pops up there and then select print - is that what you do ?

Shirley I click on the printer icon top of screen, that new print preview window appears, I click print and the Canon small window box appears. I then click on preferences and another window box appears where I change the orientation to landscape. Click ok the window box disappears and I click print on the first Canon window box and it prints.

It use to be so much quicker and easier before they added the new print preview box to Studio along with the default portrait orientation. I find remembering all the steps harder at my age.

I click on Print and in the print preview window I click on settings and change the orientation there if need be then I click on print. This way when I open a new document the landscape print border shows correctly and I don't have to keep changing it.

Shirley old ages getting to me as I tried that and only saw the scribbled box at the top and no sign of the print preferences if I needed to change the print quality. Clicking on the print button brings that window box up. It is only on new files that I have to do that. A previously printed one keeps the settings. Two different ways to do the same thing.

Thanks Shirley is this update for Silhouette 4 only?

The latest beta update is now V 4.4.247 Ruth and it is for all models not just the C4

Thanks Shirley.

Since installing Beta update my cutting files from silhouette design store is not appearing in my library. Sent an e-mail to silhouette america and they said it is because of installing beta V 4.4.247. and Studio does not support beta update. How can i remove the update from studio. it?
Is anyone else having this issue?

Beta version 4.2.241 was removed on 27 June Ruth and replaced by beta 4.4.427 which is now been upgraded to a full release so is fully supported - you can download it from https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/software and just install as normal. You don’t need to uninstall unless you are going back to a legacy version.

Thanks Shirley. I shall install the newer version.

I have downloaded the update. It ask me how to install it.It gives 3 options
1. Modify
2. Repair
3. Remove.

Which one do i click to install the new update please?

Can you click on help on the menu bar in Silhouette Studio then click on About Silhouette Studio and see what version you have installed as you usually only get that message when the version is already installed.
