New Update to Sure Cuts A Lot 2!

Some major changes have been made to SCAL2! These FREE updates have made this program even more useful than before.

These are the updates that have been made:

  • Added Node Editing Tool to edit the nodes/points in the outlines
  • Added Drawing tool to draw lines and curves, add and remove points
  • Added Pause button to pause in the middle of cutting your projects
  • Added Boolean operations under the Path menu for doing Union, Intersection, Exclusion, Minus Front from Back, Minus Back from Fonts between two objects
  • Added option to convert text to outlines under the Path menu
  • Added Beach and Newborn shapes to the shapes list

Many of the tasks that previously needed to be performed in Inkscape can now be executed in SCAL2. This is a major time saver. You can now edit nodes right in the SCAL2 program.

In the screenshots below, I imported a leaf SVG file and then edited the nodes to give it a different shape. Just imagine the possibilities!

Two new categories have been added to the Shapes Library. You can see the images for Beach and Newborn Shapes below. These shapes can be resized, layered, shadowed, and welded with other shapes and titles.

I’m sure that any of you that have been on the fence will now realize you NEED this program! You can purchase SCAL2 at a super low price HERE. The Windows and Mac versions are both available for download and/or CD version. There is also a coupon that will discount your ENTIRE purchase by 10%. The coupon is FEB14 and it expires at midnight EST on February 14th.

How do you actually get the updates? I just bought the software a few weeks ago and am not (yet!) familiar with its use! ;-)

Canda - I downloaded and installed the update but I don't see the baby or beach shapes? Am I doing something wrong? I'm SO excited to see even more cool stuff in my newest favorite software :-)

Pam-First, make sure you have version 2.010. You can check this by going to the Help menu-->About. You can view different shapes by going to the Shapes Library window and clicking on the Shapes drop down menu. It will automatically be on Basic Shapes, but you can change it to other libraries.

I just purchased this and am a bit overwhelmed by it.  Is there an on-line manual or something?  I didn't see the beach shapes either.....will have to look!

It can be overwhelming at first, but I recommend trying some simple designs first. Try creating a welded title or adding a shape to it. You can also get a lot of great ideas on the SCAL forums: http://forums.surecutsalot.com. In order to see all of the shapes, you have to click on the drop down menu in the Shapes Library. It will be on Basic Shapes as the default. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions.
