EveryCutFileWhat each edition does with your file
| Edition | Opens SVG | Opens DXF | Saves SVG |

| Business | Yes | Yes | Yes |
With Designer Edition or higher
Open the SVG with File > Open, or merge it into an open project. Studio places the shapes where the file places them, at the size written in the file. Select everything and check the width and height before you arrange the page.
With Basic Edition
Open our DXF with File > Open. A DXF has no fills and no size, so the shapes arrive as outlines: select them, compare the width with the design page, and type it back in the Transform panel’s Scale tab with the ratio locked. Fold lines arrive as plain lines; set them as score lines before cutting.
A worked example
Our arch label, 60 × 62 mm. In Designer Edition, open the SVG and it reads 60 × 62 mm. In Basic Edition, open its DXF, select it, and if the width is not 60 mm, lock the ratio and type 60 in the Scale tab; the height follows to 62.
