Signs as shapes

The four signs are drawn as plain geometry, not taken from a typeface: each bar is 12 mm wide when a sign is 40 mm across, with corners rounded just enough to weed cleanly. The divide sign is a bar and two dots, so as a solid it is three pieces. That is why the set offers the signs three ways: cut out of a rounded square or a row of counters, where everything stays in one piece, and as loose shapes for when you want to place each one yourself.

There are no numbers in any file. The calculator has twelve blank keys and the four signs, the protractor and set square have ticks without figures, and the abacus counts with beads. That keeps the files clean to cut and lets you add digits in your own typeface if you need them.

Sizes and thin parts

On the calculator at 100 mm tall the keys are openings about 11 mm square with 3 to 5 mm of body between them, and the small signs have bars about 3 mm wide, so 70 mm tall is a sensible minimum. The protractor ticks are cuts a little under 2 mm wide. The compass has the finest solid part in the set, a screw bar under 3 mm wide, and its needle ends in a sharp point: cut it at 90 mm or more. The tools silhouette stands on a flat strip for a shadow box.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
