I have a svg file that changes when I import it to SCAL. I have tried to go into inkscape to change grouping but I can't select any of the items. The layer is unlocked. Could someone please help me.
Thanks so Much

Could it be you are trying to import in Inkscape?
After you open it in Inkscape you can choose select all. After you get it selected choose ungroup and look at the bottom of the page and it should tell you if there are more ungroupings needed.

Jancy: I can't even select the items to break apart.
Grammy: I created the file in Inkscape so I shouldn't have to import it should I?
I have attached the page, I have to ungroup all of the pieces because they don't import very well into SCAL if I don't.
thanks all

Okay here it is for you.. What was happening it was in the locked mode so in inkscape you got to object/unlock and then object/ungroup...
I forgot when you go to object/unlock you don't need to highlight the work

Have fun..

Thanks so much for doing this.
When I tried to open the SCUT file it came up blank?
Also when I try to import the SVG into SCAL the boxes are not where they are supposed to be?
I guess I am trying to create something that is too advanced for me....

Did you import the SCAL one or Open it?? It worked for me..... and do you have SCAL1 or 2??? also you have to open SCAL first and then bring in the file... You can't just click on the file it won't work..

I am working with the SCAL 1 version. I opened SCAL and the opened the .scut file, and I don't see anything.
When I import the svg into SCAL I get the images but they are not where they are supposed to be.
Thanks for being so patient.

Scal 1 doesn't like grouped files and will cause this problem .
Most likely needs ungrouped in Inkscape
