What’s happening:

After the latest Design Space update, Cricut began importing SVG templates at random scales instead of the original file size. This means when you upload a template, it might appear too large or too small compared to the intended measurements. Unfortunately, this is an ongoing bug/behavior in Design Space and is not something I can fix on my end.

Why this matters:

Accurate scaling is crucial for miniatures—just a small size mismatch can throw off an entire project. Since Design Space doesn’t allow exporting templates directly, I can’t re-size the file for you within the app.

✅ How to Fix It

1. Check for a Scale Reference

Most of my newer templates include a 1 cm reference square.

When you import the SVG, measure that square in Design Space. If it’s not 1 cm, select all the elements, group them, and adjust the width proportionally until the square measures exactly 1 cm.

2. For Older Templates

These may not include a reference square.

Contact me for the exact intended width of the template.

In Design Space:

Import the SVG

Select all → Group

In the width box, type the correct overall width and press Enter.

🛠️ Moving Forward

To make this easier, all my future templates will include a visual scale reference square so you can quickly correct any scaling issues.
