We haven’t had an inkscape class in quite a while, so I’m going to set one up for later this month. It will focus on how to create and edit designs for the laser cutter, vinyl cutter, plasma cutter, foam cutter, etc. I’m working on laying out the information for the class, and wondering if I could g…

As a beginner using Inkscape, I’d like to know the basics of how to design from scratch in Inkscape. From the people I’ve talked to at the club that are using the laser cutting machines while I’m there, they seem to think Inkscape is the software to use for design purposes.

There is no need to bring a file into Inkscape for laser cutting if you aren’t using Inkscape to create your design. The laser cutter software can import a DXF file.

Thank you for offering this class. I’m taking the class offered at WPL on Thursday. I’ve watched many YouTube videos…but still hit snags…road blocks lol. Labor day weekend is my hurtle for the class…

I didn’t realize I had scheduled the class on Labor Day weekend. Maybe I should bump it a couple days forward or backward.

I’m all for having the class before Labor Day. Whatever time works for everyone else is good with me. Mike G
