Doing this will select both the score lines and the matching box shape. The easiest way to do that here is to click on the group name in the Layers panel. In order to keep everything together when we send it to the mat, we first need to Attach the score lines to their matching box shapes.
The box shapes and score lines are all on separate mats, because we forgot to tell Design Space to keep them together! If we just click the “Make it” button without attaching, Design Space is going to separate everything onto different mats. First, let’s see what would happen if we skip this step… The only thing we need to do to make sure everything cuts correctly is Attach the score lines to the box shapes. Since we don’t have a scoring wheel or stylus, the blade of our Cricut will cut along the dashed score lines. In the Layers panel, each layer is set to “Cut” by default – in this case that’s exactly what we want. Right-click on the design and choose “Ungroup” to work with the layers individually. By default the design will open with everything grouped together. In this case, the blade of your Cricut will cut along the dashed lines, creating perforated lines that can be easily folded.įirst, upload the SVG to Cricut Design Space. You’ll want to use SVG files with dashed score lines if you do not have a scoring tool for your cutting machine.
