Help with SCUT files

[ScrapHappyMommy]

Hi,
I have downloaded some of the SCUT files from this forum. I extract the files but when I open them in SCAL it is blank. Please help me before I go insane. LOL!
TIA,
Chris

Hi! I think I noticed that, too. If you double click while in Windows Explorer, it opens the file but nothing appears. If you open SCAL program and then IMPORT those same files, you should have better luck. Try that and let me know if that works! Good luck and hope it helps!

When I open Scal first and import, I still do not get the image.
Thanks!
Chris

Open SCAL, then OPEN scut files or IMPORT svg files. IMPORTING scut files won't work. This is a quirk of SCAL that catches everyone at first.

I tried that but it did not work. I must be doing something wrong

Are you using SCAL1? If so, they could be SCAL2 scut files that won't work in SCAL1.
If you are using SCAL2, are you sure they are scut files and not svgs.
We see the problem of blank svgs all the time, but not blank scuts so much. If it turns out they are blank svgs I have a whole troubleshooting guide for that.
