Bob.dickey1228 0 Posted May 23, 2019 Hey there new to the forums here. I am having trouble getting an image into SCAL 4 pro. Basically what is happening is part of the image will import into the software but there are no cut lines. There is a square around the image but because of the white background the image wont trace are plot cut lines. I can get the image into inkscape and save as a png but am still getting the same problems in SCAL. I am using a Mac and I think these images were sent to me in a docx file as well. Any pointers would be very appreciated. Have not been in the vinyl cutting game very long, trying to wrap my head around everything. Thank you in advance.

darcshadow 1,626 Posted May 23, 2019 Your problem is that the PDF file is more than just vector images. The text is a vector but the actual image is a bitmap image. Not sure how SCAL handles it, but Inkscape you simply open the file, then you'll need to select the graphic. For some reason the graphic is part of a group although it's the only object in the group. You'll need to ungroup it before you can trace it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob.dickey1228 0 Posted May 26, 2019 Thank you for the help. I think I have it figured out. I did not realize you could and have to ungroup multiple times. I thought it was a one and done. Thank you again. Learning something g new everyday!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
