Need Help Circle of Hearts

[hokiebear]

Hi-

I am working on a new project, and of course I need help..yet again.

Goal: 4 inch (approx) circle with various shapes of hearts around the inside perimeter of the circle. I dont want the hearts to touch each other or to touch the inside edge of the circle.

I have attached the svg. When You go to Display Mode > Outline, You will see the image.

When I import the svg into SCAL, All of the hearts,except 2, appear on top of each other. I have tried grouping all of the objects, but that does not seem to help.

I hoping some of you geniuses can help me.

I got it to work. Select all, then ungroup. Then for each of the 2 hearts that have an inner and outer heart select both parts and do path>combine paths. Then select all again and combine again. Some of these steps might be unnecessary but I'm not sure which was causing the problem.
SCAL doesn't like grouping, but does like combining so I always try that first.

Thank You for your help. The tips you gave me fixed my problem. AND...I learned more about grouping and ungrouping!
