Design Space Updates: What's New
Table Of Content
Cricut rolls out their updates in “waves,” meaning that not every user gets the software update at the same time. There’s no way to force and update to get the newest version of Cricut Design Space. The best thing you can try is to exit and restart the Design Space program and see if it automatically updates to the current plugin. This update also adds more learning tools to Cricut Design Space, specifically for Cricut Maker 3 and Cricut Explore 3. If you have one of these machines selected, you’ll see a Learning Plan link in the dropdown in the upper left of Design Space.

More information about Phrases can be seen in these release notes. First, if you have a very small object on your Canvas, the bounding box handles will disappear making it easier to move around. You can zoom in to see the bounding box handles if you need to make any changes to size or rotation (or you can still use the Edit toolbar at the top). Also included in this update is another bounding box update! Now you can resize projects using the sides of the bounding box, not just the corners. This allows you to change the height or width independently, instead of adjusting them at the same time.

There are also minor improvements to the Automatic Background Remover tool, which helps with removing backgrounds on more complex images. The biggest update for this round is the addition of keyboard shortcuts (sometimes called “hotkeys”) in Cricut Design Space. If you have used keyboard shortcuts in other programs, many of these function the same way. There are also some changes to the notifications in Cricut Design Space added in June.

Depending on your design, you may want text closer or further apart — now you’ll have more control over the look you’re going for. We have already rolled out most of the new features listed below. Offset and Project Collections will roll out within the next few weeks. You can read our blog that details everything you need to know about the new Monogram Maker feature.

Also, soon we will be making changes that affect members who use the free Design Space app without a Cricut Access plan. Every calendar month, these members will be allowed to upload up to 20 personal images and/or patterns. Members with a paid Cricut Access plan will have unlimited uploads. All members, with or without a paid plan, will keep all of their existing uploads in Design Space. Enhanced user experience on Mat Preview allows you to remove grid lines on the mat preview to show greater contrast. Simply click away from the image layer to view it on the mat without grid lines.
This update changed My Projects in the top navigation bar to My Stuff. My Stuff has a lot more than My Projects did, including your uploaded and saved images. When you bookmark a project, you’ll get more options for organizing your files within My Stuff, including accessing all of your collections. On a text box, you’ll notice that there are also “handles” on the bounding box on the top, bottom, and right and left sides. This update includes a brand new tool called Cricut Editable Images.

The developer, Najma Kousar, indicated that the app’s privacy practices may include handling of data as described below. Added additional information to the System info screen in the Design Space menu. If for some reason after calibration your cuts are still inaccurate, clear cache (the troubleshooting guide above this) and try calibration again. From the Canvas, you can now preview your design with thicker or thinner pen & marker tip sizes — so you can better imagine what your project will look like. Kerning is a technique used to improve the visual aesthetics of text by adjusting the spacing between two characters.
There have been a lot of changes to Cricut Design Space in 2022. These exciting new changes are a game-changer when it comes to making your next project. Then when I go to the Bookmarks tab at the top, I’ll only see the fonts I’ve bookmarked. This update is all small glitch fixes—there are no bigger updates that you should notice. Now an alert will notify users if their computer doesn’t meet the system requirement of having at least 4GB of available RAM. Now when you choose to restore areas of your image during upload, we show you a shadow of the restore area to better assist you with image restoration.
You’ll notice links to helpful how-to and tutorial videos within Design Space. These short segments will help you learn new features, brush up on basics, or just level up your creative skillset. The 7.9 update also has updates and improvements to the Background Remover feature when you’re uploading outside files (SVG, DXF, JPG, PNG, GIF, or BMP). If you remove a background and want to restore some of it, you can now see a vague shadow of what will be restored when you use the restore tool.
You’ll now get to preview a Cricut Design Space link in a browser vs. having to open the app on your computer or phone. Cricut often makes changes and upgrades to the Cricut Design Space software. Here is what has changed most recently in the desktop software, plus a history of Cricut Design Space updates so you can make the most out of the program.
This newest release had a great new feature for Cricut Access members—Cricut Monogram Maker! I’ve written about how to use this new tool in my post How to Use the Cricut Monogram Maker in Design Space. If you make the text box narrower than your text, Cricut Design Space will automatically wrap your text (force it to another line). These updates have to do with the way that items are handled on the Canvas within Cricut Design Space.
I recently found one update that I can’t seem to find in Cricut’s release notes. When you create text that’s overlapping (like a script or cursive font), Cricut Design Space no longer requires you to Weld your letters together. You can see here the un-welded word on the left becomes welded once you hit Make It in the upper right.
