Transferring Silhouette library from one computer to another is a simple process, but it can be time consuming if you don’t know the proper steps. It is essential to have a backup of your Silhouette library when switching computers, as it contains all of your designs and settings that you have made in the program. Here are some steps to ensure that your Silhouette library is transferred safely and securely to the new computer.
Step 1: Backup the Library File
To start, open up Silhouette Studio on your old computer. Then click on “File > Backup Library” from the top menu bar.
This will create a folder called “Silhouette Library” which contains all of your designs and settings for Silhouette Studio. Once this folder has been created, copy it onto an external drive or upload it to cloud storage.
Step 2: Restore the Library File
On the new computer, open up Silhouette Studio and then click on “File > Restore Library” from the top menu bar. You will then be prompted to locate and select the “Silhouette Library” folder that was backed up in Step 1. Once selected, all of your designs and settings will be restored into Silhouette Studio.
Step 3: Confirm Designs Have Been Transferred
To confirm that all of your designs and settings have been properly transferred over to the new computer, open up each design file individually in Silhouette Studio and make sure everything looks correct. Additionally, double check that all of your installed fonts are still available in the program.
Conclusion:
Transferring a Silhouette library from one computer to another does not have to be complicated or time consuming. By following these steps you can quickly backup, restore, and confirm that all of your designs have been successfully transferred over with no issues.
