The first bike shows the original file and the second one is the corrected one...I'm working with scal1 so scal2 users may be able to ungroup it in that program but I took the file into Inkscape and ungrouped it and saved it again and it showed up fine...hope that helps.

Laura thanks for your help...
I am still confused. How do I do what you did?
I need the second picture but my computer will not let me download it from here?
I am so sorry to be a bother

Hello,
I am Nancy, whose blog you downloaded the file from. I just happen to be browsing and came across your post. I'm glad I did!
All my files are .svg format, to allow you the freedom to edit, enlarge, and modify to meet your needs. Most are multiple pieces, and are often grouped so that when they are enlarged, it does so proportionately. You will need a program such as Inkscape, which is free, to allow you to ungroup, separate and re-save. If you will do this, then import it to SCAL, it will appear correctly. I hope this helps.
You can email me at
nancyscreative@sbcglobal.net, if you need further assistance, I call email you the file in a way to make it easier on you.
Regards,
