What Sure Cuts A Lot PRO is
Sure Cuts A Lot PRO is design and cutting software for sign making, vinyl work, crafts, and electronic cutters or plotters. It lets users build designs with installed TrueType and OpenType fonts, drawing tools, and custom shapes, then cut them with supported machines. It can import SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, DXF, and PLT files. Design functions include automatic image tracing, shape drawing and editing, welding, visual effects, rhinestone templates, and more than 200 built-in shapes.
The PRO edition adds extended cutting beyond 72 inches, weeding options, tiling, duplicate cutting, cut-by-color controls, layer alignment, and cut order controls. The maker lists cutters from Silhouette, Roland, USCutter, Siser, and Silver Bullet. Print & Cut contour cutting works with supported models that have a laser. Cricut Explore/Maker and Brother ScanNCut cannot be used for direct cutting; designs can instead be exported for Design Space or a USB drive. Windows and macOS are listed, along with Chromebook and Linux, which require Wine. The software includes free technical support, with FAQs, tutorials, downloads, forums, and a contact form in its support center.
