I need help with importing svg into scal

I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out why this isn't working. I have a pdf template which I imported into inkscape. I used ungroup and removed all the printing and the dotted lines and saved the file as a svg. It looks great in Inkscape. I then import the file into SCAL (the original as I ca...

SCAL 2 import svg size

When ever I try to import a svg file into SCAL2 it is so tiny and is in the left hand corner and the move arrow is hidden. In SCAL 1 there was a place on the library box to set the size but I can't figure it out in SCAL 2. It only seems to be a problem with files from myscrapchick as other svgs open...

Re: Free programs

It's already a vector, so trace won't work. Select the image, and either right click and select ungroup or use the menu (Object/Ungroup) until the message bar at the bottom of the Inkscape window doesn't list "Group". Then just select the pieces and move them by color. HTH That worked! Th...

Re: Free programs

This site has both Bugs Bunny and Road Runner. http://vector-cartoons.com You can download up to 3 images a week. Download the wmf versions, open in Inkscape, separate by color, and save as svg. Don't be intimidated by Inkscape, it really isn't that hard once you get familiar with the one or two qu...

Re: Need help opening svg files

Please don't get discouraged, it really is easy. Grammy One other thing you might try is find the folder and doub...

Re: Need help opening svg files

Hello I visited their websit and it indicates there is 4 ways you can download their files. My suggestion is try to make sure that the hair and accessories are svg files. If not you might need to contact them and let them know what happened. Although you can convert easily the pdf files. Just have ...

The doll bodies are there but the hair, clothes etc is just a blank page with a small circle on it. I tried opening the svg file by clicking on the file and that didn't work so I tried i...

Re: Thinking of buying, but Totally confused by the threads....

Can I buy the Juke box and the new carts that are out like the Hello Kitty cart without having to update my firmware? I have the jukebox without the update but it is pointless using the jukebox as you have to push the button for each cartridge you want to use. With the update the Cricut knows what ...

Re: firmware 2.1 installation solution

I read that PC is coming out with a major update for CDS this month. I can't imagine that Todd is going to waste his time for a few weeks minor inconvenience when the next update will probably block SCAL as well. I find it amazing that PC can't seem to fix CDS or make available even simple windows f...
