Yes, I have used one for several years now. Always had mac computers so the 'cut' programmes I design in Adobe Illustrator have to be translated by an Illustrator plug-in from the Silhouette company into the correct format for the cutter. The software allows for any number of layers of cut info which will pause the machine if needs be between each layer so you can change tools or type of cut. I often have a separate layer for scoring lines with a dry ballpoint or a dotted half cut - the machine has an instantly replaceable holder for blade or pen. I have found it pretty consistently accurate - not infallible, it has it's limits of course- but generally, it bears the brunt of cutting or adapting and repeating for development very well.
