Wow! That is just about all I can say to the response to the newest update for Silhouette Studio! Its clear that many of you have been waiting for this feature to be able to open your embroidery designs in Silhouette Studio! Me too! So glad we can finally do this!
Since I've sold tons of these upgrade Codes, I've had a lot of questions. Most of them are the same, so I thought I would just put out a post with information about the update & how to download, install and update your software.
The latest version of Silhouette Studio is now 3.6.039. In order to see what version you are running, you should check in the top menu bar. I am working on a MAC — so it may be a little different on a PC — but pretty much the same. Go to Silhouette Studio –>About Silhouette Studio. When you click on that, this window will open.
Here is where you will see what Version of the software you are running. Mine is currently at the most current version 3.6.39. (You will also notice that I am running Business Edition — if you don't have Business Edition, you won't see the BE). If you are not running this version, then you must download the latest release.
To do that, go to Silhouette America Software page. Scroll to the bottom of the page & look for this UPDATE link. You will notice that there is nothing that says PLUS or Designer Edition Plus — it is just the latest release of the Software.
Select either MAC or PC, depending on which computer you are using. Then (with Silhouette Studio closed), install the newest version & re-open Silhouette Studio.
Now, to clarify – there are 4 tiers of Silhouette Studio – since this upgrade has been posted.

At this point — you should be done & ready to open embroidery files!! There are also additional rhinestone features – -but we will talk about that later!
Now — there have been some people who have emailed me & said they get the message 'Incompatible Code'. So, I contacted Silhouette Support and here is the response I received:
The error she lists is related to users putting a license key in an improper order, possibly over top itself. Likely, she applied the key properly, but is not seeing the features because she needs to update her software. The DE+ features will not show unless they on v3.6.039 or above.
So — all that being said — If you have applied the code & updated to version 3.6.039 — try to go ahead & open an embroidery design. If it opens in your Silhouette Studio Software – -then you are all set & ready to go!! There is nothing that actually says you are finished, or upgraded to DE Plus.
If you purchased a code from me and continue to have problems — please email me at terrijohnsoncreates@gmail.com — and I will work with you to resolve it!
Hope this tutorial helps! Now, I know that many of you are wanting tutorials on how to use this new feature — those are coming! But, I need a little time — hang on & it will be up later this week!!

What is an STUDIO3 file?
A STUDIO3 file is a design project created by Silhouette Studio version 3, a program used to design items that can be cut with a Silhouette electronic cutting machine. It contains a design, which may include text, shapes, lines, images, colors, gradients, patterns, and effects. STUDIO3 files also store design page settings, cut settings, and registration marks.
The STUDIO3 file is the primary file associated with version 3 of Silhouette Studio. When you create and save a design project, the STUDIO3 file is the default format used to store the design. However, you can also choose to save the design as a .STUDIO or .GSP file. The STUDIO3 file replaced the STUDIO file with the release of version 3. The STUDIO file was used by version 1 and 2 of Silhouette Studio.

Once you are finished with your design you can verify the cutting, emboss, deboss, grid, registration marks, stipple, and cut settings. You can then send it to a connected Silhouette device for cutting.
