Personal Library

Post by Car »

I am using Scal2 (so I can use it with my Cricut). I have downloaded svgs and have added them to my personal library. The svgs load into the library okay except that when I open the library to preview the svg files the ones that I have added recently only show a blank square where the preview should be. The correct name of the file displays when I hover over it and the correct file opens in SCAL. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? It sure would save a lot of opening and closing files to find the right one. Thank you for any suggestions.

When you look at the file in SCAL, do the images have a stroke color applied?

Sandy, I'm not sure what you mean by stroke color. When I look at the file in SCAL, on the mat the has colored lines but no fill color. I have tried to fill the image using the "fill" option in the Appearance menu but it does not fill with color. I am able to see the image in Irfan SVG viewer. This problem started a while ago, so I have a number of files like this.

Btna,
Thank you for your help with the fill problem. I obviously never payed any attention to that in the view menu. Now if I could only get the image to stay colored in the Personal Library.

Thanks again,

Carol
