Feel Really Stupid - Mat Direction

Post by cortanteemu »

Hi guys,

I've been using SCAL forever and I always had my mat direction showing in the ladscape view. Well I recently bought some My Scrap Chick files and it changed the direction to Portrait and I can't get my mat to go back the other way. Can someone please fill me in because I feel really dumb. Its hard to do my letters when I only have 6 inches of space to work with.. LOL.

Thanks :roll:

Someone else in post above had the same problem...so if you read there you might find help.

Also, under CUTTER at the top you can change mat size to 12 x12.

Open your Scal look at the top tool bar and where it says cutter check off the 12x6 mat size

Ok..

I'm not asking how to make it 12X12 or 6X12..

My matt changed from going on a horizontal plane to a vertical plane.. i want it back to horizontal so that its easier to work with when I'm making titles etc. I can't seem to find where the DIRECTION of the mat is not the size.

It is in the Properties Panel. Click on the downward arrow to change it.
