Why Does My Design Disappear When I Weld in Silhouette?

Welding in Silhouette is a great way to create intricate and complex designs for your projects. However, many users find that when they weld in Silhouette their design often disappears.

This is usually due to small details being lost during the welding process. When you weld two shapes together, the program has to create a new shape that combines the two original shapes.

This can sometimes cause some details from the original shapes to be lost in the process. Other times, it can be caused by shape or text overlapping during the welding process.

To prevent this from happening, it is important to make sure your design is clean and organized before welding. Make sure that any overlapping shapes or text are moved away from each other before welding, as this will help keep all of the details intact after welding. Additionally, double check your weld settings before you start welding – some settings can cause small details to be merged or even removed during welding.

Finally, if you do find that some of your design has gone missing after welding, there are a few steps you can take to restore it. First, try ungrouping and then regrouping the elements that were welded together – this may help restore some of the missing pieces of your design. If this doesn’t work, try using the slice tool to separate out any overlapping elements and then regroup them separately.

Conclusion:

Welding in Silhouette can create beautiful designs for your projects but it’s important to remember that some details may be lost in the process. To prevent this from happening, make sure all overlapping elements are moved away from each other before welding and double check your weld settings beforehand. If you do find that pieces of your design have gone missing after welding, there are steps you can take such as ungrouping and regrouping or using the slice tool to separate out any overlapping elements.
