Questions & Answers
SCU drawings: Frequently Asked Questions
What are SCU files?
SCU (eCAL Project) is a cutting project file created by eCAL, the Craft Edge application shipped with Sizzix eClips and eClips2 cutting plotters. The format is a plain text XML document whose root element identifies the writing application and its version, followed by project metadata, a base64 encoded preview bitmap and a data block describing the virtual cutting mat, its size in thousandths of an inch, its orientation and the selected machine model. Artwork is stored as a tree of pages, groups and shapes, each carrying an affine transformation matrix and its own fill, stroke, weld and cut or draw attributes, with geometry expressed as path lists made of move, line and cubic Bezier segments. Because eCAL shares its engine with Sure Cuts A Lot, SCU files use the same internal schema as the SCUT project formats and are read by the same parsers. Typical content is production ready: decals, stencils, signage lettering and precut templates such as protective film outlines for laptop and phone screens, where the physical dimensions of the design matter as much as its shape.
