the best.

AGREED - Nick is the best! I’m no designer... just a Teacher trying to get a class taught without looking stupid in front of the kids. Thanks Nick! PS - I bought the course!

i dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!

Amen! Coming back to watch these videos again and the level of understanding is exponential

You're not operating inkscape well without mousing around the align button at least thrice. Or export your image twice on a same directory.

and hitting Ctrl+S a million times while thinking about the next step

That's amazing I use it for all my vectors at this point

That's awesome. I've been watching videos about CNC machinery lately. There's that creative side of me that wants to spend thousands of dollars on it and start learning just so I can start making steel signs and logos.

I wonder if I could use it to control my vinyl cutters. I've been using Flexi Sign, but the version I have is very old.

@@LogosByNick start with a k40 laser engraver. That sets you back around 300 bucks

@@gregsteele806 yeah is very easy to control your vinyl cutter with inkscape , just make sure that you have installed a working driver for your plotter (serial to usb) once you have that ready, go to extension menu click on export and plot, then a window will show 3 tabs. In the first one you will select your COM device or Port, you can find that on windows pressing: windows + R then typing : devmgmt.msc, a windows labeled Device Manager will apear and over COM ports will show you the number of the com por like: COM3, then you go back to your inkscape and select that port, you are almost done just make some calibration on the second tab changing the steps per inch if the plotted figures is smaller or bigger finaly click on apply to start cutting your selected path (will not work on objects) you need to convert all to paths.

Yes, the object needs to be a path for this to work.

@@LogosByNick Experiencing a similar problem, but can't figure it out. Copied your meander design using Bezier lines (Bezier the three bits, then Stroke to Path, then Combine). Resizing it doesn't change anything. Editing its nodes does, and works as expected. Resizing the leaf object in your wreath example works perfectly. Any idea what might be amiss?

Thanks! Had the same problem. This helped me a lot!

@@emperorspock3506 thanks I had the same problem. finally got it thanks.

Oh BLESS you for posting this.

Happy new year Surin!

Yeah this extension can be very powerful if you let your creativity run wild

@@LogosByNick Hello Nick and Happy New Year!! Beautiful tutorial, as always!! Probably you noticed that when you add the "pattern along path effect" (2:17), your circle is not perfectly round anymore and so will be the final result with the pattern (0:12). To solve this: Just after you add the effect and before you link your pattern, select all 4 nodes of the ellipse with the nodes tool and turn them symmetric. Now your circle is equally round again and you can go on and paste the pattern that you wish.🙂 >EDIT< Even better, if you turn the selected segments to curves. 😃

@@enastypos4212 thanks a lot man 🙌

I heard somebody saying his tutorial isn't very clear hahaha
