4.05 Importing SCUT, SCUT2, WPC, GSD
Files created in Sure Cuts a Lot (SCAL) are saved in the format SCUT or SCUT2, depending on the version
of SCAL used. Files with the WPC file extension are created in programs developed by Sign Max, which
include WinPC Sign, Funtime, Pazzles Inspiration, and Gazelle. GSD files are created in RoboMaster,
RoboMaster Pro and Wishblade Advance. These formats are all imported using the same methods as
described for SVG. There are no special settings. Just locate the file on your computer, select it, and click
on Open.
The GSD format does not have an available preview. Also, the Fuse N Weld option is available, in the
import window, to connect the many individual segments making up paths in these files and it is
recommended that the box remains checked. The scroll bar next to this setting allows you to set the
minimum distance between two nodes in order for them to be connected upon importing.
Auto Fuse n’ Weld option
will connect individual
segments: highly
recommended
Increase Tolerance if the
breaks are not being closed.
Converts embedded Set smaller if nodes are
metafiles to a texture being connected that should
not be.
Indicates how many paths are found. Note that with Auto
Fuse n’ Weld turned on, the imported graphic, in this
example, ended up with 7 paths instead of 143.
It is recommended that both the Auto Fuse n’ Weld and Render Metafiles To 300 DPI be left turned on.
The Fuse N Weld option is needed to connect the many individual segments making up paths in GSD files.
The Render Metafiles function is use to identify embedded wmf and emf files used for print and cut
applications and convert those to textures.
Before saving an imported GSD file, run the Auto Simplify Path to reduce nodes. Refer to Section 7.02.2.
4.06 Importing TTF, OTF Font Files
If the imported file format is TTF, OTF, or OPF then the font file will be added to the installed fonts list and
be available for creating text shapes. The font does not need to be installed first in Windows, nor does it
need to be re-opened in MTC after the file is saved and opened again on the current user’s computer or any
other computer. More details on importing font files are covered in Section 5.02.
4.07 Importing from Lettering Delights
If the Lettering Delights option is chosen, then the Lettering Delights window will open at the left side of
the screen.
You may log into the following web site: http://www.letteringdelights.com/ and purchase new cutting files or
load existing cutting files from your account.
