Here’s How to assign your cut, fold, draw or score lines

This guide not only outlines How To add score lines in Cricut Design Space, but also addresses “How To use the dashed cut line” for Brother ScanNCut (Brother Canvas Workspace) and Silhouette Cameo (Silhouette Studio) cutting machine users.

Details

The example used in the specific cutting machine guides below is a layered cut file design that requires the relevant layers to be grouped/attached/assigned once on your art board in order to maintain the correct placement of the cut, fold, draw or score line details.

Don’t worry this is very simple!

We use RED for SCORE LINE and FOLD layers and GREEN for CUT layers.

Cricut Users (How To add score lines in Cricut Design Space)

Upload your file(s) to the Art Board in Cricut Design Space, then on the layers panel click on the Cut, Fold, Draw or Score layers that you wish to assign.

From the Operation drop down list, select and assign the Cut, Fold, Draw or Score to the layer.

Select the whole “grouped” layer (all layers) and then click the paper clip button to “Attach” the grouped layers.

You have now assigned the cut, fold or score lines and the selected layer should look like the Step 4 – Lines Attached image, where the paper clip button is now split in two, with Detach as the label.
