How to use the TRACE feature of the Glowforge Laser

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Ok. I wasn't quite sure how to do the Trace feature. This was exactly what I needed to know. The "outline" was something I just couldn't figure out. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for doing this video , i just found out last night what the position icon was meant for . I have been lining things up by eyeballing it.....lol

[@magnoliaminis]

moon man I totally get it! There are so many amazing details to learn. 😊

You used 3 different mediums, how did you engrave and cut without changing your wood settings per item, acrylic, tile, wood?

[@magnoliaminis]

I didn’t need to. The thicknesses of the mediums worked out. There are LOTS of charts on settings for materials and thicknesses on the Glowforge forum page if yours differ.

Can you capture the design - and save it ? So you can remove the paper and put in a large piece of material ?

[@magnoliaminis]

Yes. It will save and you can name it in the GF user interface to make it easy to find in the future and you can resize it as well. 😊

They all took the same power/speed to cut n engrave?

[@magnoliaminis]

Gavi yes. I used the medium basswood plywood settings for all 3 because they were very close in thickness. You could alter each but in this case it wasn’t necessary. 😊 Thank you for watching as asking!
