Wanting to make polka dots w/out all the hassle!

Post by kbarlowe1 »

Hi everyone!

You can tell from my question, I am a complete newbie!!!

I just got my Cricut machine in the mail this week. My first project is the glass ornaments with a monogram and polka dots. I would like to know if there is a way with SCAL to just copy the circles/dots that you have already sized instead of having to enter a circle and resize each one over and over and over....? Does this question make sense to anyone or am I rambling? See what I mean about spotting a new person a mile away?! :lol: Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and God bless,
Kim

If you want a full page of dots, you can copy the first dot, and then go to Edit --> Paste (Auto Fill) which will fill the mat with dots/whatever you previously copied

To copy and paste, select the object to be copied, right click, select copy, right click again, and select paste.

Or if you want to you can make a small cluster, and with none of them selected draw a square around them all, right click on the square and select> copy from the list them right click> paste a new set on your mat that you can put where you want
