MTC file. . .can this be converted?

Post by KatieK »

I have this graduation file that I want to put on a tumbler. . .but in order for it to go on straight it has to be curved slightly. It is a solid line of grads standing in a row celebrating their graduation. I don't see where there is a feature in SCAL where I can curve the image slightly...is there? If so can someone explain how it works?

I asked over at smartbuygal.com and Treva offered her Make the Cut File for me to use. I guess in MTC there is a feature that curves an image just a bit. The only problem with this is. . .I have SCAL. Is there a way to convert this to an .svg to cut in SCAL?

Thanks for any info!

If she sends it in a jpeg format you can just convert it to SCAL.. Do a trace image

Yep. MTC can export files as svgs to import and cut in SCAL.

Thanks for the help everyone!

I have the .jpeg...I tried to trace it in SCAL as well as in inkscape. But its really broken up. The outline of the image is there but it is in dashed lines. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

I tried to attach the file here but it is too big.

Thanks for any help!

OK...thanks for sticking with me everyone!

I deleted some of the extras in the file (grad hats and diplomas) and it let me attach it here.

This is what I am trying to make into a nice solid cut...it just has sort of dashed lines throughout.

Thanks again
