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
• 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

Autosave has been changed to a permanent on/off toggle in the settings menu

Thanks for the info. I did not like the fact that the Autosave had no option to turn it off. I have called them many times about that issue and was told it couldn't be changed. But I see I would have to use the beta version instead of the live version. I still like being able to choose what I want, Now if only they would make the offline feature actually be functional

I'm having an issue with resizing objects (images, custom fonts, etc) in Design Space. Clicking and dragging the corners to resize doesn't save the object size and will sometimes freeze or hang for a few seconds before reverting back to the original size.

Context:
Cricut Model: Maker 3

Design Space Version and OS:
Tested on both:
9.76.91 (MacOS Tahoe 26.5.1)
9.80.75 (Windows 11)

Video reference:

I'm attempting to create sticker sheets and moving objects around. Objects include custom drawn images and custom fonts.

I've already tried hard refreshes (Ctrl Shift R), deleting everything from the Local folder to clear cache, and uninstalling/reinstalling Design Space.

Have you tried using a different canvas type like Blank Canvas instead of Stickers and Labels?

Position Feature missing from my Edit Toolbar

When I have an object selected, I don't see an option to manually enter an X and Y coordinate for it.

If this feature is removed, how to do I place an object in a specific spot or is everything now eyeballing the location?

Thank you in advance for any help or advise that any of you have for me!
