Newbie Questions: mat size and converting Silhouette art

I am transitioning from Silhouette's software to SCAL and this is my first effort. Just a minute into this and I notice that it doesn't appear my previous Silhouette files can be brought into SCAL (vs 3.1.417 designer). I don't have Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw. How do I transfer files?

Also, my mat size is a max of 24" yet the display only shows 12". I looked on preferences and elsewhere and did not see how to change that.

Thanks in advance for your help as I learn this new software!

If you are referring to .studio files, those are proprietary to Silhouette and can only be used in their software. Silhouette does not offer a way to export to any other format.

Others have taken screenshots and then traced them in order to use the designs outside of Silhouette Studio.
