Thanks for the training, it worked perfect!

[ginaswann]

Thank you so much you videos have been very helpful! For a first time user!
How would you save them on top of one another? Say you needed 6 or 8 images?
And is the power setting Inkscape, and the setup box and the override all separate? So basically do you have 3 chances to crank the power? (Having trouble getting to engrave metal)
Thanks for your help!

Is it possible to get back to the import raster image > target image settings box after you've already clicked the create button?

[stevebenner]

I think you explain things very well, thank you. Could you show me how you got the Home button on the lower area next to the lock button? I have the same laser as you and have updated the firmware on it and GRBL.

I am trying to cut shapes only. Working with svg files it cuts in a random order if I change to the png would this fix my issue or do I need another format

[thesentinel]

I have a question. How do you clear a project that is finished, and start another project?

[aztecwarrior]

Great lesson! I learned alot. Can you do a video on how to engrave " dog tags" stainless steel or aluminum? Thank you sir.

[godin]

my version doesn't have any of the import window you are showing, I click open file, chose a file and appear in the main window, the workstation size never the same with different image, I could not even move the image or even delete or do what ever with!! it seam to not have any option, very frustrating program that came with my creality laser. A real peace of junk.

[robertohernandez]

Awesome vidz, is there a way to upload a txt or possibly a word document?

[carlienovak]

how do you determine what the exact power strength is at the lighter color?

[LMDWoodProducts]

When you are sizing the image to engrave, are the numbers in millimeters or inches?

[rtalbott]

Okay... working with Rastor image... my engraver is continually giving me a Hard Limit. I cannot find anything that can explain this for me and how to fix. Using an AtomStack M40

[mickredfox]

[harveyn]
