IMPORTANT!
As mentioned before, when an SVG file is imported, its file format changes to SCALMAT.
This is important to note because this is where a significant difference lies between the
Mat Template
window and the
Library
. Referring back to
Section 4.03.1
, it was noted that you can import an entire folder
at one time into
My Designs
in the
Library
. While it appears that the same functionality is available when
creating a new folder in
My Mats
, you cannot import an entire folder of SVG files that same way. Instead,
the folder you wish to import (create a shortcut to) must contain .SCALMAT files.
