How to Convert SVG to GSD
This is a short text tutorial on how to convert an SVG file into a GSD. It's really easy and you will need two programs.
1. Inkscape - You can get this program at Inkscape.org
2. CraftRobo Software
Once you find an SVG file that you like you will have to open it up in Inkscape. In inkscape you will go to File>Save As
After you make that selection you will have to select *.DXF then you can click Save
Now we do that because the CraftRobo software understands DXF format and we are able to go to Open up CraftRobo Software and go to File>Load DXF
Find your DXF file that you saved in inkscape and you can now Save that DXF file you Loaded as a GSD file. So that is how you can get an SVG in your CR software.
How to Convert WPC to SVG
Things you'll need if you don't want to watch the tutorial
1. A virtual printer - CutePDF is what most use and it's free. It acts like a printer but prints as a PDF (Which is what inkscape can open) To get CutePDF... I just went to download.com (Safe website) and did a search for CutePDF
2. Funtime Software - The lite version is free and that's what I use in the video.. http://www.funtimescrapbooking.com/
(I guess that FuntimeScrapbooking doesn't have the Lite Version available - you can still download it here)
CLICK HERE for Funtime Scrapbooking Lite
3. Inkscape - To open up the PDF you create in Funtime
STEP 1. Install CUTE PDF
STEP 2. Install Funtime Software
STEP 3 (IN FUNTIME)
I open up the file in Funtime the (WPC)
then I go to File PRINT
I choose the printer that says CUTEPDF
Then go to properties and make sure that if you need Landscape mode you Chose that or Portrait Mode you Choose that... It depends on the layout of the WPC. (You will know you did something wrong if you get 2 pages that print instead of 1)
STEP 4 (IN INKSCAPE)
Then you can go to inkscape and open the PDF
Select everything and keep ungrouping until there is nothing left to ungroup.. .You will know by the information bar at the bottom it will say "No groups were ungrouped"
Then you may want to do a Path>Break Apart because sometimes there are lines stacked on top of eachother and in scal that means it will go over the same outline over and over.
Then you can Save it as a SVG and import into SCAL
New Converter Application
Our SCUT files come already proportioned correctly. We know that they are sized the way you may not want. So we created this application to help you with measurements. To use this you will need the original SCUT files that come with our downloads. It allows you to precisely match things up if you decide that our files aren't the exact size you need.

Sure Cuts A Lot: How to Install Font
We created this tutorial for the beginner in SCAL. SCAL is a great program that allows you to cut with your Cricut Machine True Type Fonts on your computer. This tutorial will show you how to get new fonts onto your Windows computer and use them in SCAL. We provide 2 Methods on this. You can either install this in the Font Folder or just open the file so SCAL can see it. Keep in mind if you install too many fonts using the Font Folder method other programs such as WORD and programs that are like that may take longer to load, because it's initializing all the fonts that are installed.
