Looking for help with an SCAL file

Post by famejoed »

Can someone help trace this into an SCAL file for me? I only have SCAL 1 and I can not do it. Any help is much appreciated

Sorry I don't remember how to do that in SCAL1. I do know you don't trace it you import it.

Perhaps someone like lkc who does still use SCAL1 will come by and give you exact instructions.

The svg file has Object/Group applied to some of the elements and SCAL1 does not like Group. You will need to open the svg file in Inkscape and use Object/Ungroup to get rid of all of the Groups. Use Control A to select all, then look at the message bar at the bottom of the Inkscape window. Keep using Object/Ungroup until Group is no longer listed. Also, this file may not cut well depending on what you are planning on cutting and the size you cut it at. Some of the cut lines are very close together.

Once you have the Groups removed, save the file then Import it in SCAL.
