SCAL4 Opacity Problem

I typically use SCAL3, but need to adjust the opacity of some text (I'm trying to watermark my design and typically do it in Picasa after exporting the design from SCAL and would love to save this step), so I've switched over to SCAL4 for this project. I change the opacity of the text and it shows u...

SCAL3 how to show glitter in preview

I use the export feature in SCAL3 to send proofs to my customers. For projects where I'm going to be using glitter vinyl, is there a way to show a glitter effect in SCAL3?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Cutting Vinyl with Silhouette without a Mat

Thank you! Unfortunately, it won't let me enter a value longer than 72 inches on the virtual mat. I'm not sure if there's a way around that!

Cutting Vinyl with Silhouette without a Mat

I always use SCAL3 and my Silhouette Cameo with a mat (even when cutting vinyl), but I have an extra long cut that I need to do and need to cut without a mat. I know I've read that when using the Silhouette software, you have to tell it that you aren't using a mat. Is this the same with SCAL3? And I...

Re: Need Help with Several Things - Shape, Print, Curve

Thanks everyone! So far, I haven't been able to get the Inkscape tool to work, but I'm going to keep playing with it to see if I can figure it out!

Need Help with Several Things - Shape, Print, Curve

I've used SCAL2 for a while, but only very basics. I have a new Cameo on the way, so I'm switching over to SCAL3 and this will all be done using SCAL3. I have a feeling there are videos for several of my questions, but I haven't been able to find the right ones. If anyone can point me in the right d...

Re: Fonts not 'showing up suddenly - please advise!!!

I was searching trying to figure out why some of my fonts quit working a month or so ago! I didn't have time before Christmas to try to fix the problem and just had to use alternate fonts. This worked perfectly!! Thanks so much!

Re: Need help with an SCAL2 file

Thanks so much! That helped tremendously, but I'm still having one problem. It's looking exactly right, except for the overlapping parts of the monogram are no longer welded together. I need it to be one solid piece of monogram and then the circle surrounding it. I'm sure I'm making this harder than...
