No "Library" in my new SCAL program

Post by handmadebyDeborah »

I just purchased and downloaded the newest version of surecutsalot. However, I have no "library". I've watched dozens of tutorials saying how simple it is to use and add fonts to the fonts tab and add svg to the shapes tab. HOWEVER, I HAVE NO LIBRARY, no fonts or shapes tabs.

Is something wrong with my download/product? When I open my SCAL2 I have a "Mat" "properties" "basic shapes" and "layers" but no dialog box that says library.

HELP.

Thank you for your reply. Restoring the defaults did nothing (I had not made any changes). I do have one font, Arial. But it is a separate dialog box, I still do not have a "library".

Did you download and install the separate library file - SCAL Lib It Up for Windows 2000/XP/Vista?

I also do not have a "Library" I think it is a separate program that must be added. The fonts are probably right there. If you hit the font symbol on your small TOOLS menu and see that the arial font pops up, hit the arrow by arial and all your other computer fonts will scroll down. A nice thing about SCAL2 is that you can add your favorite fonts to a favorite section by clicking on the heart symbol when looking at a font. To see your favorite fonts you just choose favorites under the VIEW menu which you see above the fonts.

In SCAL2, the Fonts window that allows you to select the font and change its properties only appears when the Text tool is selected. The Library window is always there. It is actually labeled "Basic shapes". The Document and Page windows only appear when the Selection tool is selected. HTH
