I’ve formatted it to make it a bit easier to read: Notice that the double-handled eye (the right-most one) is the only one that matches.Īnd here is the. Here’s how it looks in most systems on the left (Illustrator, Chrome, Mac system preview), vs Cricut Design Space on the right: svg differently from Illustrator, Chrome, or the system preview? This then leads to the interesting question: why does Cricut Design Space render the output. Note that a) can be a special case of b), since all quadratic Bezier curves can be represented as cubic ones.

I haven’t been able to confirm this with anyone at Adobe, but this means that a curve drawn with the pen tool which has only one control handle is either:ī) cubic, with an assumption made about the other control point. These control points are your anchor points and handle ends.Ī quadratic Bezier is defined by two end points and one control handle.Ī cubic Bezier is defined by two end points and two control handles.

Illustrator’s pen tool constructs Bezier curves. …but if you’re still here, let’s talk a little more about what is happening!Ī Bezier curve can have 2, 3, or 4 control points: What gives?!įor those of you who are encountering the same problem with your Cricut and just want to know how to fix it, the answer is: ensure every single curve has two handles - one on each end.

Handle lines are faint blue here but hopefully you can see them: In Illustrator you can create a shape that only has either one single handle or two handles at each anchor point. svg rendering which may be of interest to others, and has apparently been an issue since 2016: In the process of doing so I found a bug in Cricut Design Space’s. I recently started a post about recreating Loki’s TVA Variant jacket. Or, if your design is too complex to fix by hand, open your.
