KeithTsr 0 Posted July 1, 2015 I am trying to figure out how to make a tapered cut much like you would see under the wings of one of the Blue Angels Demo Team. It will say US NAVY starting large at one end smaller at the other. I have spent several hours trying to figure it out and can't get close. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mb20music 760 Posted July 1, 2015 what software are you using? Nobody can help without better details He posted this in the Sure Cuts Alot Pro section so I assume that is the software he is using. I don't know SCALP but I know how to do it in SignBlazer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rpmrpm 32 Posted July 2, 2015 We kind of do need to know........at least what version of Scalp, as...... Scalp 3 does not support distortion Scalp 4 does and the tool for it is down the left side below the "Knife" and above the "Stencil bridge" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeithTsr 0 Posted July 2, 2015 I'm sorry I'm using scal pro. I just bought the cutter last week so I am super new to cutting. I am assuming it's the latest software. Thanks" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maxcat128 28 Posted July 2, 2015 "free distort" can be used in Illustrator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeithTsr 0 Posted July 2, 2015 "free distort" can be used in Illustrator if you have a friend with it. I don't think I know anyone that uses illustrator.....i'm an old dog trying to learn a few new tricks. So far I've been able to just keep at it until I find what I'm looking for but I couldn't figure out how to taper. Thanks for trying to help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rpmrpm 32 Posted July 2, 2015 I think USCutter is still shipping Scal 3 Pro with purchase. Check out this guys tutorials on Scal 3 it helped me a lot when I started. (I see he has done more on Scal 4 that I need to watch) https://www.youtube.com/user/ScrappyDewCreations/search?query=sure+cuts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeithTsr 0 Posted July 2, 2015 I'm now working on my program which is Sure Cuts A lot 3 Pro. I have been at it for a while this morning reading, watching videos and can't figure it out. I may have to start looking for a different program.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted July 3, 2015 I'm now working on my program which is Sure Cuts A lot 3 Pro. I have been at it for a while this morning reading, watching videos and can't figure it out. I may have to start looking for a different program.......... A good free option is Inkscape. I don't use it much but it's pretty capable of basic stuff like what you are talking about. I have never been impressed with SCALP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
