This is great....thanks for sharing ladies...Tried to cut it and can't even open them

Did you just work out how to do that yourself with the Inkscape software, or are you following any directions? I've been sitting for an hour trying to work out how to weld letters and then import back into SCA but don't seem to have sussed it yet - I've managed to do very basic bitmap images and then get them into SCA but not very successful with text - any ideas?

Thanks

I think the easiet way to do it to open a paint program. paint shop pro, paint, photoshop, any of them. Make your title, overlapping your letters like they are welded. then save it as a bmp. Now go to either inkscape, adobe illustrator, or corel draw. Open the bitman image in there. Trace it, then save it as a sgv file. Now go to your sure cuts alot program, and import it, it should be ready to cut, the wods should be welded.
I can't make anything in draw, I guess it is because I am so used to my photodshop, so for me this is the easiest way to do it. Plus I can do it in a 12 x 12 size, where as illustrator, it only does 8 1/2 x 11.

How did you uploaded ? I have a few files that I wanted to share.

when you go to post, at the bottom you see a browse button, hit it, and pick the file you are going to share, then hit the add the file button. Then submit at the bottom.

Managed to weld letters together in Paint, save them as bitmap, transfer to Inkscape, trace, save as svg and then back to SCA. It all sounds a lot of trouble, but only took moments - thanks very much for your help!

did you do this in CDS? Love it!

Thank you for the bubble file! I love being able to share files. I've felt so left out when reading all the other die cut discussion boards!
