I found a really cute bus on the website I listed below - I think there's issues with the svg files as three of the different files have the same name so I downloaded the scut file which again is great !! but on the one part of the design which is the overlay of the bus there's a big box around the cut file so you waste a lot of paper cutting this out. My question is that box there to make that one desisgn - I cannot ungroup (scut) I do not know anything about inkscape - just wondering why the box is there - I am using this design to make invitations so I will be wasting a lot of paper.
TIA for an anwer.

Re: help with a scut file
If you have Scal 2.10 if you can't ungroup use the breakapart feature instead.. then you will probably be able to remove that box...

Re: help with a scut file
I'm not sure if this will help or not but I made a bus card. I haven't cut it out yet.

Re: help with a scut file
I do not have the 2.010 so I guess thats why I am not seeing the feature to use since I cannot ungroup - but thanks for the info
Also thanks for the other bus file - but i have all the pieces cut out for the other one except the overlay - left that for last to see if anyone knew how to change it so i wouldn't waste so much paper - cannot locate the owner of this design "Expressionjunkie"
Thanks to all who tried to help.

Re: help with a scut file
Since you have SCAL2, why not update so 2.010? If you don't like it, you can always go back to your previous version.

Re: help with a scut file
No problem. I removed the box for you. This is the top layer of the bus where the box was only, since you said you had everything else cut out.

Re: help with a scut file
Thanks for the replies:
I have not downloaded 2.010 heard too many issues with it and i do not know this program enough yet -- I am in the middle of the birthday invites as well as somne saying putting on glass candle holders for a wedding . . . So changes now would not be good for me.
Can't wait to get home from work to try the scut file and see if it worked this time - last time it was changed I got a red scribbled up mess. If I have uploaded it right I attached the last outcome along with the original .
Well it is telling me the .doc extension is not allowed so I can'g attach a picture of what I am talking about. but thanks for the help
Regards,
Cathy
