“UniConvertor is a universal vector graphics translator. The project uses sK1 engine to convert one format to another. It has an import filters for: CDR, CDRX, CDT, CMX, AI, CGM, WMF, XFIG, SVG, SK, SK1, AFF and export filters: AI, SVG, SK, SK1, CGM, WMF.” i dont know what that means but im guessing that the uniconvertor is what we download..

Yes, I know- i just bought Sure Cuts A Lot yesterday amd have been looking at the youtube videos, but it seems that the inkscape is still better than the one on the software since it can at least seperate the colors like your youtube video if you wanted too, and it also seems that the lines are more crisp..

@mzsweetiepetitie it saves svg’s and doen’t export them. But this tutorial was made prior to SCAL2 and Make the Cut software. they both have a tracing feature now that cuts out the inkscape step.
mzsweetiepetitie August 26, 2010 at 12:58 pm: I really appreciate …
I really appreciate this you creating these tutorials! However, i just went to the inkscape and i am extremely clueless on where and what to download.. Is it called the uniconvertor?? Because im reading that it exports all these files but doesnt say anything about jpg, gif, etc but it does say export svg…

@sgabbard2009 Yeah there is a 30 day money back policy. Inkscape is no longer needed to trace images. You may want to try out MTC’s new trace feature.

What’s MTC?
ScrappyDewCreations August 26, 2010 at 12:58 pm: @nikstewart Design …
@nikstewart Design Studio is too limiting, meaning you can only cut that design out if you have those cartridges. SCAL or MTC is a What You See is What you Get, regardless of what cartridges you have.
nikstewart August 26, 2010 at 12:58 pm: I am new to the …
I am new to the cricut but I know I need some type of software with it. I just don’t know what to get. What would you recommend? Design Studio, SCAL2 or MTK?
greggreen98 August 26, 2010 at 12:58 pm: I use inkscape with …
I use inkscape with scal because after you trace it you can edit the svg.

@NeedleJUNKY I made a video response to show you how to do this all in SCAL2. However at the time of the video we were using SCAL1. SCAL2 does have an Auto Trace now. However sometimes inkscape is still needed to get a desired results.

Hi, Rob: Why do you use inkscape to convert file vs. the scal program?

@KraftyKatsy Visit our website for Starter Package Details. Cricut bug is from doing a search on google and tracing it.
