Post by xinue »

You need to open the files once you are in SCAL. It won't work to double click on the file. If it is a scut file use File/Open project. If it is an svg use File/Import svg. HTH

I discovered that if I use the import function, then it brings in the .svg files. If you go through the file, load projects, it will show the .scut files. Hope this helps.

Can you post a link to the scut file you are trying to open?

The cutting file is a "SCUT2" file which means it was created in SCAL so that's why you can't open it in Inkscape. Inkscape can open "svg" files.

Here's how to open it in SCAL.

Click the SCUT2 file on the link above (see picture below of where to click) and save to your desktop.

Open your SCAL2 program.

Click File then Open and click on the SCUT2 file on your desktop.

I tried it and it opened without any problem.

Hope that helps.
