SCAL5 has the ability to add templates to the
Cutting Mat
that are non-selectable shapes to aid in
designing. Typically these templates are representations of actual objects onto which cut shapes will be
applied. Here are several examples:
Designing an etching stencil for a champagne glass
Designing a decoration for a light switch
Designing a rhinestone template or HTV pattern for a T-Shirt
•
To show or hide a template, mark the box next to
Show Template

Details on customizing and organizing templates is covered in
Section 9.04

The
Snap To
option allows you to choose how shapes behave as they are being moved. Being able to snap
to other objects, to guidelines or to the grid can help align shapes more easily when designing or editing a
project.
•
To access the
Snap To
options, go to
View>Snap To
and mark your preferences based on the following
options:
Grid:
selected
shape will snap to the grid lines
Guidelines:
selected shape will snap to guidelines (refer to
Section 9.03
)
Objects (Bounds):
selected shape will snap to
other shapes’ boundaries
Objects (Centers):
selected shape will snap
to other shapes’ centers
Object (Sublayers):
selected shape will also snap to shapes inside other shapes (child shapes)
•
When you first access the
Snap To
menu, you will most likely see the last two grayed out. In order to
access those options, make sure
Objects (Bounds)
is checked. Then you will able to go back to the menu
and change any of the options.
•
When snapping to the grid, the grid can be showing or hidden.
•
When a shape snaps to the grid, a guideline, or to another shape, blue lines appear indicating the shape is
aligned at that point. Here are two examples:
Grid lines turn blue
when the pink circle
snaps to them
Blue lines appear when pink
circle snaps to both the left
side and bottom of the blue
rectangle
