scut file to svg

Post by Triplechin »

Hiya folks, would appreciate any advice.

I have created a file in scut, how do I save this to svg so that I can open it in inkscape?

Thanks in anticipation.

I don't think you can. You need to do it the other way around if you want an SVG file - create in Inkscape, import in SCAL. The only way I think you can do it is to scan your cut item, save as a JPEG or something Inkscape understands, import (or open?) it in Inkscape and then do some magic to make an SVG. Play with trace bitmap and stuff - I'm not very knowledgeable about that part.

Thanks for your advice. I am no good at this inkscape nonsense, but looks like I will have to try it. I hate cutting out things when I have the cricut that can do it much faster and neater. So I need to get a grip and either make the scal files or learn inkscape :cry:

I was really hoping for some sort of a miracle, but thanks anyway, kind of you to reply.
