Intro to Leonardo™ Design Studio
 * View Larger Image


HOW TO USE LEONARDO™ DESIGN STUDIO BY SISER®

Are you ready to create like an innovator? Leonardo™ Design Studio’s namesake
was a genius of the renaissance- a master painter, engineer, architect, and
inventor who’s intellect still affects us today. Who better to name our custom
made software after than someone who would have used to it further those
endeavors? And of course his Italian background makes him like family to us
Siser® folks! We hope we’ve made Leonardo da Vinci proud and we think we could
even impress him a little bit! But since he’s not here, how about we show off to
you instead! Keep reading to learn all about Leonardo Design Studio.


COMPATIBILITY

Leonardo Design Studio can be used on a windows or Mac! There may be slight
differences between the 2 versions, but all the bells and whistles still work on
your preferred computer.

 * Windows® 8.1 and higher
 * MacOS® 10.15 and higher

Currently Leo is only for use with Romeo™ and Juliet™ high-definition cutters.

 * Romeo 24” High Definition Cutter
 * Juliet 12” High Definition Cutter



If you prefer to design in a different software, you can still bring those files
in seamlessly. Just make sure they’re one of the following file types:

 * .SVG
 * .PNG
 * .JPG

To bring in a file, you can select File>Open>Import File from the dropdown menu.
But hold on, I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s get you set up first!


SETTING UP YOUR LEONARDO DESIGN STUDIO ACCOUNT

When you purchase a Romeo or Juliet– Leonardo Design studio comes along free of
charge! You just need to activate your account in order to get going. You can
use the setup link included in the box with your cutting mat, or you can simply
visit the Siser website to download the software. Even without a Romeo or Juliet
you can actually download the software from our website and give it a test
drive!



Once you’ve installed the software, open it up and you’ll be asked to Sign Up
for an account. After signing up, a verification code will be sent to your
email.



After you put the emailed verification code in Leonardo Design Studio, your
account will successfully be created! Now you can access your account
information in the top right dropdown menu. Your Account page is where you can
update things like your email address, phone number, and cutter registrations.



Your Account Profile (otherwise known as My Page on the left side of the screen)
will show you a quick view of the recent Design Library files you’ve used. You
can also register or remove a cutter on this page as well. Now that we’ve got
your account set up, let’s dive into the main screens!




LEONARDO DESIGN STUDIO PAGES


HOME PAGE

Once all signed up and logged in, you’ll be met with a seasonal home screen of
some kind. These images will get changed out frequently so if yours look
different from mine pictured- don’t worry! From the home page, the tabs on the
left of the screen will always be the same! Let’s go through them from top to
bottom.




TUTORIALS

Looking for some guidance when it comes to your new cutter and software setup?
We’d love to teach you! Take a look at any of the videos in this section to
learn everything from making your first cut to mastering the marker adapter.




INSPIRATION

We hope you find inspiration in Siser products, but for those days that the
spark just isn’t there you can find something to kickstart your next big idea in
the ever-expanding library of inspiration projects! Complete with cool pictures
and easy to understand instructions, each inspiration project lays out all the
necessary supplies and the step-by-step process to get your making mojo back.




DESIGN LIBRARY

While Leonardo Design Studio is a powerful designing software, you don’t have to
consider yourself a graphic artist to work with this program! The Design Library
is home to over 3,000 pieces of vector artwork and new additions are being added
all the time. Best of all- every design is royalty free which means you can make
and sell things without copyright worries.




MATERIAL LIBRARY

Peruse all our products or plan your next project by looking through the
Material Library. From HTV to PSV and everything in between, the Material
Library makes it easy to look up application settings and other material
features like layerable, laser compatible, or CPSIA certified.




SISER CUTTER

On this screen you can register a new cutter or view your currently registered
cutters and check for any software and firmware updates. You can also check for
software updates by going to Help> Check for software updates.




DESIGN

Now this where the magic happens! The Design page is where you can create
artwork from scratch or import other files and edit them to your liking. Let’s
take a look at all tools you can take advantage of in Leonardo Design Studio!



DESIGN SCREEN FEATURES

The bar across the bottom is packed with powerful tools that will help you make
the exact logo you’re looking from. From left to right we have:

 * Select Tool
   * Select a piece or multiple pieces of artwork to re-arrange and re-size
 * Node Select
   * Edit curves and points one node at a time
 * Draw Tool
   * Use the Pen Tool to create shapes one node at a time
   * Or use the Sketch Tool to draw shapes as you please
 * Draw Shapes
   * Create a perfect square, circle, heart, or star every time
 * Text Tool
   * Access all your computer’s fonts and glyphs to make custom text
 * Build Contours
   * Make any artwork into a print and cut design
 * Weld Tools
   * Combine or Separate Paths of overlapping shapes
 * Scale Tool
   * Rotate, Mirror, or Duplicate shapes
 * Arrange Tool
   * Group or Ungroup Shapes
   * Move layers from front to back
 * Align Tool
   * Position shapes in different ways: Center/Vertical, Center/Horizontal,
     Left, Right, Top, or Bottom.

Also at the bottom of the page are a few tools for adjusting the page:

 * Select Tool (again)
   * Select a piece or multiple pieces of artwork to re-arrange and re-size
 * Hand Tool
   * Adjust the art board without moving any of the art itself
 * Magnifying Glass
   * Zoom in
 * 100%
   * Resume original view before zooming in

It’s a lot simpler to demonstrate how these tools work in a video. Check em’ all
out in this YouTube Video Below:



PROPERTIES MENU

On the side of the Design Screen is the Properties Menu which contains 2 control
panels.

Color Picker Panel

 * Adjust object’s color, stroke, and size



Layers Panel

 * Change the order of the layers
 * Lock and unlock layers



ART BOARD/CUTTING MAT MENU

The last thing to double check before sending your design to the cutter, is your
Art Board/Cutting Mat menu. Make sure you’ve selected the type of cutting mat
and size you’re working with. A cutting mat isn’t necessary though! You can
select Material Roll and set custom dimensions of the roll or sheet you’re
working with as well. A few more customization options are here as well for
those who prefer to work without a grid or in dark mode.



Finally, you can prep any file for print and cut when you check the Print and
Cut Job box which automatically allows you to select from common paper sizes.
You can learn more about how to print and cut with Leonardo and Romeo or Juliet
in this video.

When everything looks the way you like it, select “Send Design.”




SEND

If you forgot to set your cutting mat or material size, you can make that change
on the Send page as well on the right side of the screen. On the left side of
the screen you can see how Leonardo Design studio will separate each color of a
cut file into individual sections when you send a standard multicolor design to
the cutter. The very top board will be cut first and is outlined in light blue
when active. You can choose any part of the design to cut first, just make sure
that blue outline is around the object you want to cut.



Before clicking “Send to Cutter” make sure you’ve got your material set up on
Romeo or Juliet properly. Check out these blog posts for all the info on setting
up your material and making your first cut:

Beginner’s Guide to the Siser Romeo

Beginner’s Guide to the Siser Juliet

And one more thing to select before send is the Area Test! The Area Test is my
favorite tool because it shows you the exact location on the material that will
be cut so you can see if your art fits where you planned and can make any
adjustments to prevent wasting material on improper cuts. You can walk through
all the features of the Send screen in the video below:




CHAT WITH US

If you ever get stuck and need help, we’re just a click away! Select the red
chat bubble in the bottom right hand corner to talk to a Siser team member who
can help troubleshoot all kinds of issues.




UPDATES

So now that you know all about Leonardo Design Studio, you may be wondering-
what’s next? Well we’re always listening to your feedback, so Leonardo is
constantly being updated with new features that you’ve asked for. If there’s
something you’d like to be added into the software, tell us about in the
