Could someone help me out with creating a simple svg?

Post by southernbellescrap »

Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. I am going to be cutting banners out for 200 people. I need a basic triangle (or pennent) shape at about 1" - 1 1/2" tall. I would like to have as many as would cut on one mat, but not sure how to design the svg file this way. I was thinking a row of triangles right side up, and then a row underneath that of triangles upside down would allow me to get more on a mat. I hope this makes sense. I am going to give it a try on my own, but am not sure how to do it. If anyone has any ideas or could do a svg like this, I would really appreciate it! Thank you so much!

have a great day!

I drew the triangle in inkscape and imported into SCAL.

Did one copy, then Edit/paste autofill, delete the original. Each triangle is a piece. You can select the whole row or column and play with moving them around for the best placing for you. You can even copy a row and squeeze it in.

Open SCAL, then click on Windows, Shapes Library. Click on the down arrow next to Basic Shapes, for Tags, Signs, Banners. There's a banner in that section.

Just click it to place it on your mat. Then click on the banner and resize. Then do a copy and paste to duplicate it.

Use the flip feature to turn it upside down to create your next row.
