petroman2012 168 Posted March 5, 2013 Having more experience with LXi Pro when it comes to seperating color cuts leads me to ask this. I have only been using the SCALP for ohhhhh 60 days, I have come to a wall where I THINK i have looked at what seems little to minimal tutorials when it comes to doing 2-3 color cuts. I understand the registered marks and with all that is fine but I can not find LIKE under LXi the element where I can SEE the color seperation layers or screens for each "piece" of the graphic that I want to cut and join as 1 piece...Sooooo...If someone wants to lead me by the nose feel free as I am not afraid to learn from my errors...Any help would be appreciated...

Rodger 527 Posted March 5, 2013 I'll look into it . I was using SCALPro the other day & a small window came up on the lower right that had each design by color listed . I assumed it was a setting to have that show or not . I cant get my pointer to act right on this computer with SCALPro . I have had a computer guy do a bunch of stuff remotely , but he has not gotten it figured out yet . I'll be using SCALPro alot more when I can select what I want instead of everything . http://www.craftedge.com/tutorials/tutorials.php#12 This is the tutorial Craft Edge has on their website . I'll have to watch it . I'll also have to search to find where to open the layer window . Edit ; it is in " Window " on the tool bar . The Page option is cleverly in the " Page " tool & on the right side of the work space ... I catch on sooner or later The link goes to the tutorial page . The tutorial I started watching was number 8 " Pages " in the Interface Overview section . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCAL3Pro puts each item you place on the mat on a new layer - to see how to work with 2 color designs just make sure the Layers window is showing (click on Windows-Layers in menu - or Ctrl-1 will toggle it on and off. Also have the Library window showing (click on Window My Library or Ctrl-2 - to toggle it on or off. Then click Basic shapes and select one of the flower shapes which consist of 2 colors.- if you look at the layers window you will see a layer with the shape in 2 colors shown in the thumbnail. There is a triangle icon to the right of this thumbnal - clicking on it which will expand the layers below just like an outline. There is an "eye" icon - on each layer and also on each sublayer. If it is open the shape is shown and will cut - if it is closed the shape is hidden and will not cut. There s also a "Lock" icon - it does what you would expect - locks and unlocks the layer/sublayer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
