Craft Edge

I just tried to use my own file and it didn't work.

Sorry about that people. I know I have edited Text in a Circle files before even after they were saved as SVG. Not sure why this isn't working.

It's gone until I figure something out.

Thank you so much! I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but my version of SCAL doesn't do it. I think the newest version was capable of it, but I also think that was the version a lot of people were having problems with so I never downloaded it. I can't wait to use it

Text on path was added with SCAL 2.011.

I did download 2.011, but I had a problems with it so I went back to 2.010. I'm afraid to try it again, but it does have some cool features that would be nice. I really wish I had a hard copy of the software that I could install and uninstall when I redo my system without having to email for a new serial number. I feel like I'm being dishonest or something.

I tried to use it today, but couldn't get it to work. I'm sure it is something I am doing-- or not doing for that matter. When I opened it in SCAL, it was a 1000 points off the mat on the x and y. It wouldn't let me put in an x or y value to move it either. I opened it in Inkscape and resaved it because that has happened before and this usually works. When I opened it in SCAL again, it said that it has words or images that were not found, but it would try to open it anyway. When it opened, I had a circle. That's it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I use SCAL 2.010

If you are using Todd's template, you need to use Inkscape to change the text to what you want, select the text, then Path/Union. Select just the circle in the middle and delete it. Then you can import the file into SCAL for cutting.

Ahhh! That makes sense. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks!

Ok, finally got around to trying to use this and obviously I'm doing something wrong. Help! I've tried two ways, first I just selected and typed the exchange word as is on the circle itself. The other way was to double click and have the font screen pop up, so I could change the words both ways. In both situations, my new wording did show up on the screen but in a diagonal line. Is there a step I'm missing to make the template work? Do I still have to path, then text to path?

Oh, and I'm working in Inkscape 0.47

Dumb question alert. Where is text in a path?
