FAQ
SCU to MIF Conversion
What are SCU files?
SCU is the project format of eCAL, a design and cutting application that Craft Edge built on its Sure Cuts A Lot engine for the Sizzix eClips family of electronic cutting machines. An SCU file is an XML document that stores the complete layout of a cutting job, including vector shapes with their Bezier paths, text, groups and transformations, layer and stroke settings, page and cutting mat dimensions, and the target machine profile. An embedded PNG thumbnail and a set of project notes with author, category and keyword fields are usually saved alongside the artwork. Files with this extension are commonly found in commercial template libraries for vinyl, cardstock, heat transfer film and device screen protectors. The same extension was also used many years ago by ColoRIX for raster images, so SCU files should be identified by their content rather than by their name alone.
What are MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
