Apply
To activate the Kerning amount you’ve entered click the Apply button. Note: The Apply
button is specically for the Kerning window, not for all of the other areas within the Shape
Properties box. To set those areas just press the Enter key on your keyboard.
Nudge Arrows
Using the Nudge Arrows makes for easy adjustment of character placement. Clicking on
the Nudge Arrows causes a slight kerning shift and moves any character or selection
right or left a small distance.
Tip: If you only need to move your image over a small distance, using the Nudge Arrows
takes the guesswork out of trying to nd the right Kerning setting.
Turn 90 Degrees
Clicking the 90 button will rotate an image or selection counter-clockwise 90 degrees.
Click twice to rotate 180 degrees.
Tip: Use this feature in conjunction with the Rotate option to more quickly nd the perfect
rotation angle.
Revert
Click the Revert button to reset all the options in the Shape Properties menu. This sets the
X, Y, Width, Height, Rotate, Slant, and Turn 90 elds back to the original settings.
Buttons
Down the left side of the Cricut DesignStudio user interface you’ll see a series of buttons.
These buttons perform some of the most useful functions and are placed close to the
on-screen cutting mat for your convenience.
New Page
Clicking the New Page button will create a new on-screen cutting mat on which you can
continue your current project, or begin a new one.
Note: Multiple mat pages stack on top of each other and are tabbed for easy navigation.
Copy Shapes
Want to repeat the last image selection you adjusted without having to redo all the
changes by hand? Click the Copy Shapes button to copy any image selection. This is
especially useful when you want to repeat an image arrangement you have spent time
creating. The Copy Shapes function is identical to the Copy command in the Edit menu.
Note: When copying images, only the most recent copy selection can be pasted.
