Hello Everyone! I am a newbie to the GF and have been testing out some of my designs.
Welcome to the forum!
When I upload ( say a 5 x 5 file size ) the artwork comes in smaller and then I have to enlarge in the GF. Is there a way to upload at the exact size I created the file ( Illustrator )?
This is almost always caused by the “Responsive” option being checked when performing a “Save as…” out of Illustrator. You may find this tutorial helpful:
My strokes around the artwork are coming out really thin-- not how I designed it.
Strokes have no width, regardless of the display settings in Illustrator, so are always going to be the width of the laser beam. The Matrix has a number of tips on how to turn them into engravable shapes…
Also, I noticed that the size of the wood or acrylic that I am using shows up wrong as well within the GF program.
Not quite sure what you mean here… If you could please elaborate, I’m sure we can help you.
