    Cricut has been around for a long time and this problem needs to be fixed for sure.

    For someone used to 3D printing, gcode, toolpaths and stuff this is the most basic thing, i can't believe cricut haven't implement an automated way and makes you go through that complex process of adding manually the lines... Insane...
    Thanks for the tips though, but I think I'll reconsider my choice of a machine.

      Thanks! You can try selecting all of your lines, unlock their size, and then make the width smaller. This will decrease the spacing between the lines. Good luck!

    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I purchased the fill line and welded my text, but when I paste my copy of the welded text over the fill line and highlight both, it's not giving me the option to slice.

      Make sure both image or word is welded. Then make sure the fill line image is welded. Once both are welded, you should be able to select both and slice.

    Sure am glad i didn't have any intention of using this thing to color stuff.. I'd be doing a return. Not having this built in is... rudimentary. Not adding it by now is outright pathetic.
