Why Is My Silhouette Saying Setting Not Found?

If you’re an avid Silhouette user, you may have come across the ‘Setting Not Found’ message when trying to cut out a design. This message can be frustrating and confusing, but fortunately, it’s usually a fairly easy problem to fix.

The most common cause of the ‘Setting Not Found’ issue is when the material type you selected at the beginning of your cutting job doesn’t match what’s actually loaded in the machine. This could be because you selected a different material type than what was loaded, or because the material was changed after selecting the original type. In either case, simply adjust your settings to match whatever material is actually in the machine.

Another possible cause of this issue is if there’s not enough space for your design on the mat. Silhouette machines have a maximum cutting area of 12 inches by 24 inches, so if your design is larger than that it won’t fit. If this is the case, try resizing your design or using multiple mats.

Finally, it’s also possible that Silhouette Studio hasn’t been updated with the latest information about your machine model or materials. To fix this issue, go to Silhouette Studio, select Help, and then click Check for Updates. This will update any new information needed to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

In conclusion, ‘Setting Not Found’ messages are usually caused by mismatched materials, designs that are too large for one mat, or outdated software information. Fortunately all of these issues are easy to fix with a few simple steps.

Conclusion:

The ‘Setting Not Found’ message can be frustrating and confusing for Silhouette users but understanding why it occurs and how to fix it can help get back up and running quickly. The most common causes are mismatched materials in the machine, designs that are too large for one mat and outdated software information – but all of these problems can easily be fixed with some simple adjustments.
