Looking for a pop up camper

Post by snowlady »

We camp a lot with our pop up. I am having a hard time finding a graphic that will work.

I found this but it is so small, but it is similar to our camper.

Can anyone do anything with this? Thanks so much!!

This looks great. Thanks! I've saved it, and when I try to open it, it doesn't show up. I opened it in Inkscape with no problem and saved it again. The saved one from Inkscape, when opened in SCAL2, shuts down SCAL2. Any help would be appreciated.

I have just had a look at it and what I did to get it open in SCAL2 was
Ungroup in inkscape until there was no groups.
Selected all then selected Object to Path

Tried that still no good in SCAL 2

Last I selected all in inkscape and copied the items to a new inkscape page. Saved that and that new image worked in SCAL 2

Why ??? Magic :)

Must have been something in the original that was not quite right. These are the steps I normally go through when I get a SVG that does not work.

Hope that Helps

Cheers Craig

Thanks for fixing it... but that imposes a question ... (new to this program) - I originally saved it out from Illustrator, from a vector image, to a .svg image. Is there something I should be doing different in the process for future reference? I believe, but need to check that the image was grouped at the time of the save. I brought it back in, once I did save it, in Illustrator and did see it, but I did not try it in this program.
Just want to avoid any future... oops, it's not there scenarios.

Thanks, and Happy New Year to Everyone. :)

I am not sure, I don't use illustrator. It might be worth posting that as a question in the forum. I know a lot of people here use illustrator and maybe able to help.

Craig--Your steps are magic! I was able to follow them and get the image into SCAL, however, when I did that I am missing a piece. The piece that is just below the door disappears within SCAL. That piece appears in Inkscape and when I import the piece is gone.........

Thoughts?

TIA,
Ginger

Hi Ginger
I am getting in SCAL what I see in Inkscape. Here is a capture of inkscape in outline view. Matches the cuts in SCAL when I preview the cut.
SO I am not sure. If you are talking about the step in the original picture to be traced, that didn't come across in the original svg.
Sorry not much help :?

I just took a screen shot of what appears when I take the svg from Inkscape into SCAL. I'd post the SCAL file, but I can't. I keep getting a message that SCUT2 files aren't accepted.

Anyhow this is what I see!

Thanks,
Ginger
