Cricut Design Studio and Gypsy Updates

Design Studio and the Gypsy Sync software have both been updated to include the new cartridges announced in May. Design Studio has both a software update and a font update.

The Gypsy update also contains many new features:
  • The much-anticipated Photo App is now available for Gypsy by Cricut users.
  • The ability to hide-contours enabling users even greater ability to customize and create new designs, hide any part of an existing shape for greater customization Hidden contours will save when the design is saved.
  • Rulers for the mat screen so users can more readily see the actual size of the shapes they cut.
  • Feature keys now show descriptive text and icons to help users make better use of their cartridges without the use of the printed manual.
  • Gypsy can now be restored at home if required.
  • Gypsy now displays “Busy Syncing…” while connected to GypsySync through your computer to inform users that it is not available for use while it is in Syncing mode.
  • Cartridges can now be added to Gypsy faster and more reliably than before.
 Cricut Design Studio also has a full update to support the Gypsy changes:
  • Added support for new Gypsy Layering Features
  • Added support for new Gypsy Hide Contour Features
  • Notes:  CDS hidden contours do not save. Gypsy hidden contours do save and can be show hidden when transferred to CDS. If you would like to create a design in CDS using hidden contours and plan on using it on your Gypsy, be sure to save the design as a .gypsy file and not a .cut file.
