CREATING MULTI LAYERED FONTS IN INKSCAPE

Post by GrammyKrausse »

This was originally in the General forum for nhbird16. Hope this helps :roll:


Hello:
I hope I'm answering this correctly. Scal cannot seperate parts, or lets say I haven't been able too. So.
I googled pclites/pclights and it looks like a font with a string of christmas lights though it. Hum I think what you might be asking about the multi layers there I think that it would really be hard cuting and trying to paste togeter little parts in scal, but if you have the free Inkscape you can, make it an svg file and seperate them apart in groups (background, letter, string then the lites) and save the file and then import them into scal and they will be in different parts of your mat and you can cut the different colors.
I hope I answered this ok
