e.g. cntrl + for zoom in
Cntrl - for zoom out.
trying to delete small items from a pattern is so long winded without short cuts.
Plus ability to grab the image to drag it onto the mat if the ONE grab handle is out of sight.
Am I expecting too much. sorry
I can't use inkscape on my MAC at present it is not behaving so I only have scal.
Thanks

Hi, Video Tutorials for SCAL
http://www.craftedge.com/tutorials
See the one on Tools Panel. It may answer some of your questions. It is very good and comes in two parts from SVGcuts.com

If Ink is not working properly and it used to try downloading an updated version of X11 and may xquartz. Worked for me when I went to 0.47, and or Snow Leopard

I only downloaded it to try to use it with SCAL so it never worked properly , I could only ever see a small oblong on my screen and was not able ti use it at all.
I will try the updates you suggested.
Thank you.

ok seems I can use INKScape after the new download.
BUT it is very long winded. not as user friendly as Serif software Drawplus ( the older versions are now free to download) so I might resort to that and use a memory stick to transport files between the XP and the MAc laptops.
Thanks for the help
