Where are you converting the jpg to svg?

You can do that right in scal2. Use the trace feature for the jpg, and then use EXPORT and it will export as a .svg.

About half way down in the post above there are steps described when working with inkscape for converting to .svg's.

The problem is when I convert the jpeg image to svg and try to import it into sure cuts alot it comes back failed. error . If anyone could help me with this that would be so great!
What program are you using to convert the jpeg to a svg? I'm wondering if the process you are using to convert the jpeg is what's causing the error message.

I use the free inkscape software. I trace the jpeg then save as a svg. From there I can import the svg in SCAL and it hasn't given me any error messages so far.
