Re: SCUT files compared to SVG
You open scut files in SCAL dont think theres any viewer for the files as yet. svgs can be viewed in Firefox browser or by installing a SVG viewer.
Which ones have you downloaded?

I am not sure what a firefox browser is, and the only thing i have is SCAL, what would i need to add to it, or add to my system to make things viewable, i do not have an SVG viewer on my computer. never heard of it before.

Re: SCUT files compared to SVG
Firefox is the best web browser in my opinion some people use it as they dont like Internet Expolrer
d/l from http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/
Adobe make a svg viewer http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/
These are for windows computers (not sure if theres MAC version)

Re: SCUT files compared to SVG
Hi, I think the reason you are unable to see the scut files as these are opened onto your mat, rather than imported.
Try this.
Hope this helps

Re: SCUT files compared to SVG
The .scut files are "projects" and need to be loaded through the "file" menu. The .svg files can be imported and are not projects, but can be put together to make projects. Clear as mud?? Still very new to this, but I discovered that the hard way. Hope it helps.
Re: SCUT files compared to SVG
I have found that I can't double-click a SCUT file and have SCAL open it. The program opens but the file doesn't appear. However, if you use the "Open" feature within SCAL, it should open. Also, make sure you are only opening files for your version of SCAL!
Hope this helps!!

Re: SCUT files compared to SVG
What is the real difference between a SCUT2 and a .svg file - other than how you open ? Can you still ungroup / Resize, etc. the design in SCAL program if it is a SCUT2

Re: SCUT files compared to SVG
You can break apart and edit scut files, svg files, and fonts in the recent versions of SCAL2. The biggest difference is that svg files can be used in several different cutting programs and edited in any vector editing program (or SCAL2), but scut2 files can only be used and edited in SCAL2. HTH
Re: SCUT files compared to SVG
Thanks Heather - I wondered why a lot of sites gave you the option to download a design in .svg or in scut
