How to Convert Cut Lines to Score Lines in Cricut Design Space

Please Share

This tutorial will explain how to convert cut lines to score lines in Cricut Design Space. Please note: Cricut sells a scoring tool that allows you to create creases instead of cuts.

Our SVG box templates come with dotted cut lines as a guide to show you where to fold the sides and tabs to create a 3D box. It is not necessary to alter or replace these lines. This post is only for people who prefer a solid score line instead of a dotted cut line. (See the bottom of this page for a picture showing the difference.)

How to Change the Current Cut Lines to Score Lines in Cricut Design Space

Ungroup the dotted lines from the template by right clicking your mouse and selecting “Ungroup.”

Select only the dotted lines
At the Linetype Menu select “Score.”

Select the dotted lines and main template.
Select “Attach”

You can now click “Make It,” and follow your screen prompts. (Please make sure you have your scoring tool in the proper holder.)

How to Create a New Score Line in Cricut Design Space

Although the score line in Cricut Design Space looks like it is dashes, it actually scores as a solid line.

Select the “Shapes” menu from the left side.
Select the “Score Line.”

Draw lines directly over the original vertical dotted lines.
Select a new score line.
Go up to “Rotate” and type in “90”
Press Enter

Place the new score lines over the original horizontal dotted lines.

To Delete the Original Dotted Cut Lines

Select the main template.
Right click your mouse.
Select “Ungroup.”
This will send the new score lines to the back, so you can remove the original cut lines.
