FAQ
SCUT6 to SHP Conversion
What are SCUT6 files?
SCUT6 is the current project format of Sure Cuts A Lot, the Craft Edge design and cutting application for electronic cutting machines. Version 6 of the program saves and reopens its projects with this extension, keeping the design fully editable as vector paths together with text, grouping, cut settings and the virtual mat layout. Alongside the usual export options, this release adds a batch conversion tool that turns multiple SVG files into FCM files for Brother ScanNCut machines. Like the earlier generations, SCUT6 is undocumented and cannot be opened by mainstream vector editors, and older Sure Cuts A Lot installations cannot read it either. Converting SCUT6 to SVG or DXF is the practical way to move a design to another cutter, to a CAD workflow or to a general purpose vector editor.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
