I support everything Melanie said, but have more questions. You are talking about selecting objects on a page. Are they images or cut files or both? What are you trying to accomplish? Did you import the images? I would suggest you either upload the file here or send it to me at
gigi@silverbulletcutters.com so I can look at it. Just be sure I know what you are attempting to do!
I recently spent some time helping a user who was trying to do a print and cut and SCAL kept shutting down. She had jpg clip art that she had traced individually and then duplicated and it created a lot of mixed messages for the software. I am oversimplifying what went wrong, but once I played with it I could see the problem and get it to work. Sometimes it's just a misstep or two that can throw a file off - we all make them and that is how we learn!
Happy to look at it if you want to send it. (scut form) Am gone all morning but can try to get to it later today - or you can upload it here if that is easier, but you have to upload as an svg. I would see if we can figure out the issue first before we send it to Brandon. If the file is clean then by all means!
Thanks for reaching out - between all of us, we will figure it out!
