SCAL and Inkscape - A marriage made in heaven

[AnointedHands]

Welding is possible when using Inkscape....thanks SJ5. I didn't even know about the program. I had an older version of CorelDraw and was trying to do some things with that and decided that I am going to have to upgrade. Once I found out about Inkscape, downloaded it and love it.

I have attached a file created with Inkscape and SCAL.

That is fantastic did you create it in coral draw?

This was created in Inkscape which is the same type of program as CorelDraw, only freeware. I have version 8 and I could not figure out how to save as .svg using Corel. Inkscape is an excellent program. If you can use CorelDraw, you can use this program.

I have used CorelDraw for years, so it isn't for me. If you are not familiar with vector-based artwork, it has a STEEP learning curve. However, once you get the hang of it, it is a breeze.

Hmmmm STEEP learning curve....sounds hard! I may try it anyway!! Wish SCA could weld!

when you download the file for the program, I think it gives you the option to "run" or "save". Just choose run and the program will install.

That is really cool! Thanks for the heads up on installing inkscape- I am just downloading it now and I think I will cancel and run insted of save! Thanks!
