Craft Edge

I am so happy to have found this board. I hope someone will be able to answer a few questions for me. 1. If SCAL can trace bitmap and other raster files why is Inkscape needed? :? 2.If I create designs in SCAL, how do I tell where those designs will be cut on the actual cutting mat?Can I move them?(...

Thanks for the paw print.It's just what I was looking for.I've just begun trying to learn to use my Cricut and SCAL.I have Inkscape also but I don't feel confident about drawing yet.
