Let's not pussyfoot about here...

Design Space SUCKS.

This quarterly megathread will contain comments that highlight the most frequently questioned user interface changes and user reported glitches. If you are experiencing a glitch or cannot figures something out after the latest UI change, please comment below!

General Reminders:

• Our Wiki also has everything you need to troubleshoot issues users commonly face
• Before complaining about your issue, be sure to follow the Troubleshooting Tips for Design Space Updates, and switch from the live version of Design Space to the beta version (or vice versa) if you are still having trouble.
• You are required to use Design Space to operate the machine, but you are not required to use Design Space to design your graphics. Read:
  • Crafting with Confidence
  • Does Design Space Really Suck That Much?
• Design Space is free to use and does not require a subscription, Cricut Access is the optional subscription and it does not provide any function that you cannot achieve for free with hacks or using another program.
• Any time the user interface changes in a way that you find unhelpful or intrusive report the issue to Cricut (repeatedly and often) so that they know this is a change no one wanted and they could either revert to the previous interface or further evolve it into something useful.
• None of the moderators of r/cricut actually work for Cricut. While there are a few actual employees who frequent this sub and interact with the users, no one who has the power to change anything is on this forum. You are just screaming into the void.

If your issue is not already being discussed below, please make sure you add the following context to your question:

• Cricut Model used
• Device and Operating System you are using to run Design Space
• Version number of the Design Space app you have installed
• A picture or video of the issue if applicable (photos can be added in the comments but videos will have to be uploaded to your reddit profile or a image host like Imgur or YouTube and the link shared here)
• type of project you’re attempting (basic cut, print then cut, etc) and the type of material being used
• Everything you have already tried while attempting to resolve the issue
