Re: Silhouette for Bridging pieces Plasma

Basically if you have watched the video Posted and looked at my files I am trying to take the offset and make it larger. I wasn't completely sure how to go about that other than the way I was already doing it. So what I am trying to do is make a sign for an LED lit background. In plasma cutting you ...

Re: Silhouette for Bridging pieces Plasma

I found a video online that is kind of what I am trying to accomplish, but I can't do anything until I get to my shop tonight. This is for text I hope it works for artwork as well.

Silhouette for Bridging pieces Plasma

OK guys I'm having a little trouble with making objects work for plasma cutting. I currently make my design by creating a box and then using the offset function for my drawing then exclude so I can cut out the border. Then I am taking a duplicate image of my drawing and setting it inside the offset ...

Re: Making a template for Plasma cutting??

I re-watched the video again and what maybe I wasn't picking up is him saving the files as v1,v2,v3, final...... just looks like he messes around with his "template" adds customs stuff for his customer and saves then only cuts what he just worked on but there are 5 other items on the scree...

Re: Making a template for Plasma cutting??

This is the video around the 7:19 mark is what I am talking about if I have multiple items on the screen when I save they all end up in my "sheetcam" for cutting not just the individual. Does it have to do with converting the files as I work on them to path? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Making a template for Plasma cutting??

Hey guys, now I know you are probably thinking changing template's as the default settings in Inkscape, but that's not what I am after. Lets say I come up with a design but I want to be able to save the basic design and every time I want to add something such as a new name or shape to the basic &quo...

Re: Text for Monogram

I think the appropriate name would be along the lines of Inkscape Metal art. Though it could also work with plotters for vinyl decals they do from what I see differ some in the ways the paths are used for cutting, but I may be wrong!? Before I was using or attempting to use Bobcad A great program fo...

Re: Text for Monogram

Worked like a charm! Thanks for the help it always seams to be the easiest little things on this program. I've only really been using it for a month so far and increased my cutting of custom signs and artwork ten fold.

Re: Text for Monogram

Man I never thought about the Stroke to path.....But then again I haven't used it yet today will be the day then! That makes sense though cause when I did the Union all the text which was a path already took on the characteristics of the "stroke" which I had set to .25" as a starting ...

Text for Monogram

Hey guys, First post here! I'm having an issue with making a Monogram. I can put the text on the circle adjust it all around to where I want it but I am having an issue with joining the circle outline to the text. If I do a union the text becomes the stroke fill thickness, basically everything gets ...
