Hi! hope everyone is doing well ....I am making leather sandals for my business and the life size image would be too big to scan into scal.... I am tring to scan a shoe pattern to cut.. just wondering if anyone had any suggestions... I am not sure if scanning 1/2 at a time would work since they are a 1 piece pattern

I am trying to wrap my brain around what you are doing! If you can scan 1/2 at a time (assuming you are doing that on your printer's scanner) I don't see why you couldn't scan in 2-3 pieces - whatever is needed, bring them into SCAL, and as long as you have a large enough machine to cut what you make, make a mat large enough, import the pieces, trace them, and then weld into one pattern. You could match the physical measurements of the material with the pattern to be sure it ends up the right size.
Not sure if this is the right answer - just imagining how it could be done, but have never done anything like that!
