Primal Decals 621 Posted November 11, 2014 Is it possible to select a group of nodes and move them or copy them to reposition them to a different part of a graphic? what im trying to do is i have a svg rose that has a leaf that is to low on the rose. i want to move that to a higher point on the rose to make it look better is it possible and how.. Im using scalp and i also have inkscape but im still learning both in this part of editing now..Thank you to all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
30-284 86 Posted November 12, 2014 I think I would just separate it from the stem and locate it where you want it and then weld it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GraphxNMore 282 Posted November 12, 2014 You can break apart the whole image. Click the node button and highlight the nodes you want to move. Click copy (or cut to completely delete it), Paste it to the side then place it where you want it. Then just weld it. That's one way to do it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Decals 621 Posted November 12, 2014 Thanks Eazy.This design is for a " In Memory Of" for my grandma that passed this year.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GraphxNMore 282 Posted November 12, 2014 Another way is to zoom in and delete a few nodes on each side of the stem, or drag the nodes toward the leaf. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Decals 621 Posted November 17, 2014 HEEELLLLLPPPPPPP !!!Hey Eazy or 30-284 ,im hoping you guys or someone can help and for some reason im brain cramping on this ,Im still new to this whole thing of vectors and svg. but i created a txt in Ai and i saved it as a svg, but when i open it in SCALP it shows where my letters all over lap nodes to the next letter instead having them all connected as one. I tried to figure out how to put my image in here for someone to see but havent figured it out yet. I tried looking for a post about nodes in ai and scalp in the forums but no one has started one to explain how to save,or convert from ai to scalp so im really lost now. I wish someone would take the time to have a post on this for others to explain what to do in Ai and how to save etc to get it to SCALP the correct way ...

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted November 17, 2014 I have posted this before, and there is info in the support section of UScutter.com . There is a plugin for this. AI to SCALP Illustrator export plugin for Sure Cuts A Lot Pro http://www.uscuttersupport.com/kbpage.html#Vinyl_Cutting_Software_Installation_Use And for editing nodes in any software you can find online, youtube.com . Many tutorials for .ai as well Scalp and it's forum. It takes a lot of practice.... Take your pick https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=editing+nodes+in+adobe+illustrator Scalp pro has their own forum and their own support for their software.... on Craftedge.com 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skarekrow 1,842 Posted November 17, 2014 I don't use scalp either but the process is somewhat universal... Transform your text to curves, select the separate parts and weld or union them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Decals 621 Posted November 17, 2014 Ya Skarekrow, i dont see where it will let me transform like you say it will. I dont know why im losing how to do this all off a sudden, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted November 17, 2014 Some software (Inkscape, for one) it's referred to as 'Object to Path'. Some of it will just let you weld the live text. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
