How Do You Trace an Outline in Silhouette Cameo?

Tracing an outline in Silhouette Cameo is a great way to make intricate designs with precision. It can be used to create unique and beautiful labels, logos, stickers, and more. The process is simple and only requires a few steps.

The first step is to set up your design on the cutting mat. Place the material of your choice onto the cutting mat and ensure it is properly secured.

Once done, select the “Trace” option on the Silhouette Cameo interface. This will open up a new window with several options.

In the “Trace” window, select “Select Trace Area” and use your mouse to draw a box around your design. This will highlight the area that you want to trace. You can also adjust the “Threshold” slider if you need to adjust how sensitive your tracing is.

Once you have selected your trace area, click “Trace”. The Silhouette Cameo will then generate an outline of your design along with any other information it detects within that area (such as text). If there are any areas that need adjusting or fine tuning, you can use the “Edit Points” option for more precise control over your tracing.
