I'm sorry if this can be found in an existing post, but I couldn't find it. When I draw an object in SCAL2 with type on path, I find that if I perform an undo I will lose the spaces in my text. This same thing happens when I save a project and reopen it. Does this happen with anyone else? Is there a...

In Inscape and Microsoft products, if you hold down the control key and roll your mouse wheel, you can easily zoom in and out. This would be a nice feature in SCAL.

It's artwork from MS-Word; text art. That seems to be the easiest way (for me) to get text on a curve. I'll try to play with Inkscape text to path function and see if I can clean it up.

I'll also play with the standard cutter and ajust the pressure and depths as mentioned. Thanks all.

I've had my cutter and SCAL for about 2 weeks now. Getting decent results for the most part. I've now started cutting vinyl, which is why I wanted the cutter in the first place. With that said, the overall look is pretty good, but it seems really jaggy. Is that normal, or do you guys have suggestion...

I just wanted to report back with the final solution. Thanks everyone for the information. It ended up being a combination of things; mostly an issue with Inscape47. I installed 46 on my other laptop and setup the file with the same conditions. FYI, the font is "Felix Tilting". I tried imp...

That looks like what happens with Inkscape 0.47. Open your file back up in Inkscape, select all of your artwork, then in this case use Path/Union. For some reason with Ink47 you need to use any of the Path operations in the section with Path/Union and Path/Difference to get a vector that SCAL will ...

I tried it several ways. Tried just plain fonts, with the bad results. I even converted them to path, broke all of the letters apart, and re-unioned the internal pieces. Both with screwed up results. Here's a screen shot of the 2 programs. As you can see, inkscape looks fine. SCAL has the internal p...

So I am new to this and am demoing SCAL (trial version). I have tried several different methods to create text in Inkscape, save as an SVG, and then import to SCAL. The look fine in Inkscape, but the fonts are all screwed up in SCAL. For example, inside cuts of the letter "D" are moved out...
