Re: Cutting around words

I always do it the reverse way - cut the shape and then add the words afterwards. I work out in a word document the size of my words - cut a paper template the same size as my circle or square - stick the template on top of my words with double sided tape and then print. If this works out then I use...

Re: Red outline box in SCAL bigger than object

Many thanks - the object was out of vision on screen and I couldn't see it. I have found that with other SVG's and couldn't work out why it was happening.

Red outline box in SCAL bigger than object

Can anyone tell me why, when I import some SVG's into SCAL ,the red outline box is far bigger than the object I want to cut. At the moment I have imported a Christmas tree which is tiny and appears in the right hand corner of the box and the red outline takes up the whole mat which makes it almost i...

Re: PLEASE - where can I find a trial version of CDS to download

Many thanks - I looked at that and thought it applied for the full version only. Now I have to see if it still makes cuts in my paterns!

Re: Projects end up with cut lines using trial version of CDS

Am trying to cut with the trial version of CDS and the firmware is 1.01 - I have the little bug so not sure if I am getting the machines muddled up. It is a cricut project of a crib that someone posted and cut perfectly previously when I used it. Since I was asked to do a firmware upgrade which didn...

Re: Projects end up with cut lines using trial version of CDS

I'm glad you mentioned that the messageboard was down on the Cricut form as I thought that was another problem I was experiencing!

Re: Projects end up with cut lines using trial version of CDS

Thanks for help - I haven't heard of that before and I haven't used CDS very much as I generally use SCAL but I particularly wanted to to the crib project.

I will have to see if someone on the Cricut messageboard has experienced the same problem.

Re: Projects end up with cut lines using trial version of CDS

My error the expression has v1.1 and CDS has 1.011. I have now uninstalled CDS and reinstalled which seems to have cured the problem but I have now noticed that after the SCAL update the cutting is soooo slow - I think I saw another post on this. I will have to keep my fingers crossed that my projec...
