Great tutorial CTC. I loved the pace. That's why they put a Pause and Rewind button on there.
TONS of info packed in here.

My only suggestion would be to put a link to Inkscape, and CamBam in the description.

Thanks for your time. Great stuff.

you dont need to zoom in and manually align edges to butt them up. Just use one of the
alignment tools with the little yellow box attached to it. Much easier and you will get perfect
alignment.

Simply select both items then go to the "align and distribute" box. Click on the
"relative to" drop down menu and select "last selected" or "first selected". Then click on the
align tools with the yellow box in it that corresponds to the edge you want to align to. - right,
left, bottom, or top edges - The objects will perfectly butt up to one another along the edge.

I'm a beginner and this video is perfect for me. yeah, it would be too fast in a lecture setting, but
with pause and rewind its perfect. No wasting time.

Great for someone whose watched a few tutorials, but still needs a few more. A good
introduction to a lot of features without spending too much time on the minutia.

Why bother making a second box as a measuring tool? You could, instead, simple drag two
temporary guides down from the top margin and do the same thing. (And likewise drag vertical
guides over from the Y-axis for similar spacing measurements.)

Super tutorial. Thank you. My problem is that my cnc software load only .PLT files therefore it
cannot load the file. :(

Hi Chris, Nice tutorial, Have a question, been using inkscape for a while, but lately I'been trying
to work my way with this open source software to make some models for Water jet CNC cutting,
but haven't had a good result with final dimension and alignment, main problems is
dimensioning a part for the total sketch, cannot set the proper dimension, let say a need a circle
exactly 4" Diameter, even when the dimension are set at the proper boxes dimensions can go up
or down up to 2 mm in either way resulting a final figure that is 3.98 " and so on I'm also using .
0001 as hairline thickness, so I wonder if you have a suggestion to correct this issue Thank so
much for your advise if any.

Nice job, I am waiting on my cnc and when you explained the screw fastener system it clicked. as
I had seen another project assembled with this.

Hi Chris -- great tutorial on Inkscape and later on the CAM stuff. I have a question: I'm using a
low power laser (2.5 watts) and for a rectangle, I need to change feed rate when cutting against
the wood grain vs cutting with the grain. So for a rectangle, I need to be able to high light the
vertical lines of the box and assign my laser tool I've setup for that kind of cut (mainly just
changing the feed rate) and then select the horizontal lines and select my 'horizontal laser cut'
tool. Can CamBam do that for a rectangle or does it just 'see' the whole box as one object?

Now THATS the way I want my Tutorials!
In seven minutes I learned more than in all of the other "How to draw a Logo/Anime in inkscape
in under 5-minutes"-videos.
Thanks!
Keep up the good work!

Go to View -> Display Mode -> Outline and then you can both use hairlines in your project and
still see them at any zoom level.
