printing?

Post by balletcostumemom »

Is there a way to print from SCAL? Control-P is not working for me and there's no pull down for print. Now that SCAL 2.010 does so much and I don't have to use Inkscape as much, I'd love to be able to print out a copy of designs I've worked on for the person to be able to approve before I cut them. That is when I"m doing something for someone else. :)

Can you do the "print screen", open Word and paste, then print from Word?

I cannot seem to get Print Screen to function on my computer. Is there something else I need to do?

I second the request for print capability. In addition to the reason bcm mentioned If we had a print command, we could print to svg which would be a good workaround until save as svg is added.

bcm,
Here is some info on taking screen shots. There are links here for all OSs

Thanks for the link to the directions that helps alot. But it seconds my desire for a simple print from within SCAL. Thanks so much!

I third(?) the request! I'd love to be able to print designs to see them in person before cutting!

it would also be useful for those of us who do Iris folding to be able to print directly before deleting the pattern part of the design and cutting it.
Wow what a time saver that would be.

Hi

I also stick my hand up for printing! Be able to save as an svg would also be great.

Thanks.

Just a suggestion. . . . Would using the Cricut markers help. Or how about the pen holders that allow you to draw/write with the Cricut?
