There are six gestures you can use within the App: It’s an excellent idea for you to see all of the things you can do with the tip of your fingers! Since we are working with technology, of course, we are going to be using our fingers a lot. Once you let go, the selection will go back to its original form Smart – Hand Gestures I think this is helpful if you want to see a 3D perspective (Especially if you have the camera option activated). When you tap on it and drag your design, you can see it from different angles.

There’s also a 5th option between the lock and the size option. By tapping on it, you are now able to have different proportions. The little lock keeps the size proportional when you increase or decrease the dimension of your layer with the lower right button of the selection. Although if you need a specific angle, I recommend you to use the rotate tool located in the bottom panel when tapping the icon Edit. The right upper corner will allow you to rotate the image. SelectionĪnytime you select one or more layers, the selection is blue, and you can modify it from all of the four corners. You can change the measurements from inches to cm and turn the grid on and off when you tap on the Settings icon located on the bottom panel of the App. I think this feature is great because every little square you see on the grid helps you to visualize the cutting mat.

The Canvas is where you play with your designs, get creative, and touch things up before you cut them. The Canvas area is where all of the magic happens! This panel allows you to navigate from the Canvas to your profile, projects, and it also allows you to expand the Canvas Space to the max. Top Panel (purple) Canvas Area (green / Bottom Panel (pink)Īre you ready to tackle each panel/section and see what happens when you tap any of the options available? Top Panel To make this easy for you, I have divided the design area into three different sections. Sometimes we are quick to jump from project to project – Hey That’s ok too! BTDT – But I think that knowing your work area will help you to take your creativity to a whole new level. I believe that the best way to learn and master Cricut Design Space is from the beginning! When you have a clear concept of what every icon and panel is for, then you can truly dig in and start exploring further and further.
