To trace an image using the Silhouette Studio software simply click on the ‘trace’ button located in the toolbar at the top of the window and select ‘select trace area’ from the drop-down menu. This will open up a window where you can adjust certain settings such as color threshold and minimum line width to help refine your tracing results. Once these settings are adjusted click ‘trace’ again and your chosen image will be traced out onto a new layer within your workspace.

Once your image is traced out onto its own layer you can manipulate it further by adding cut lines or removing certain parts of the traced shape if desired. When finished click ‘send’ in order for this design element to be sent over to your Silhouette Cameo machine for cutting or engraving according to what type of material you are using at that time.
