Does anyone know how to take a .cut file and make it work with SCAL??

I think (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) you'd have to take a screenshot of what you have in DS, import that to Inkscape and trace it. I tried opening the .cut file in Inkscape and importing the .cut file to Inkscape, neither of which worked for me.

you can cut it in black, scan it & open in inkscape & trace.

I tried the screen shot.. I could not get it to work.

I just recreated it in SCAL. I figured if I did it once, I could do it again.

Its just a cute box with a window.. I used george the first time around.. and SCAL has the shapes needed under the shapes tab.

Thanks for the suggestions though!

screen shot then if your screen shot program allows it ( I use SnagIt8) fill with solid colour, save as jpeg, import to Inkscape, trace and save as .svg.
