Downloading & Saving a Cricut Design Studio .cut file that has been uploaded to the MessageBoard as a .txt file

Double click on their uploaded “Attachment” that is showing in the bottom of their posted message: This should open up a pop-up Right click on the file name: For example: “name.txt” and do a “Save Target As. .” (Note: it should have the .txt extension, if it doesn't - it probably isn't a .cut file but a picture). This should pop-up your save window. Make note of where you are saving the file. NOTE: At the bottom of the pop-up window are TWO Boxes. One says “File Name” and one says “Save as type”. You have to change the file name to include the .cut extension, for example : “name.cut” and THEN you have to CHANGE the “SAVE AS TYPE: from “Text Document” to “All Files”. Then hit the save button. Open up your Cricut Design Studio software, go to the menu to open your file, locate your file on your computer and open it. You should now have the .cut file open in your software and ready to proceed!!
