Pros

This is a good product for other machines but they stopped support for Cricut machines with version 3.0. No longer useful to me at all,
The previous version are nice to use

Cons

Doesn't support Cricut

Summary

I have no clue why they dropped support for the Cricut machines.. but since then I have no use for the newer versions of this software.

Sure Cuts A Lot For Cricut

Craft Edge did not drop support for the Cricut. Cricut sued them and forced them to do this. Then Cricut issued firmware updates for the cutters that prevent you from using older versions of the program. They want you to purchase their overpriced cartridges, which lately seem to be mostly 1960's style cartoon images. Bleah.

the reason they no longer support Cricut machines is because Provocraft (Cricut owner) sued them for patent infringement. I agree, it's useless to me as well without the Cricut support because I can't afford another expensive diecut machine.

'Works great, importing simple vectorized files.'

'Works great, importing simple vectorized files.'

Pros

It may not handle complex vectors with too many nodes, however using 'Inkscape' ( a shareware program available here on CNET) to create SVG files with 'simplified node structures' will help to prevent freezing.

Cons

It does not support all type fonts. This problem is off-set by importing them as paths in SVG format. Spooling memory may be too small for larger files. Don't make things too complicated,..

Summary

Savings, flexibility, and ease of use,.. nothing else to say except,..' it's not FREE!'

Pros

I love the idea of cutting patterns without having to have the expensive cartridges. This provides an option for Mac users, who can't use the Cricut software.

Cons

The program freezes when trying to cut. The only way to recover is to restart the Cricut, or shut SCAL down. If you have multiple cuts on a page, it will only get through 2 or 3cuts before freezing. No helpful solutions from product support, either.

Summary

Until they fix the problems or come up with a work around, the program is too expensive and frustrating.
