I’m moderately embarrassed to even ask, but how in hades do you download the template on a mac? I am remedial, I guess, but it won’t download – it won’t even let me screencap the image when it opens in a new window (because it’s not a “standard webpage”). My options are open it in a new window and inspect element. And no amount of swearing at it changes that.
Is anyone else having a problem with step 0? Lol.
It’s not the amount, it’s specific words, and how they are emphasized.
(Sorry, don’t have a mac, so I can’t offer other help)
two finger click on a trackpad, at least for me.
@erin
Yup, two finger click/tap will bring up the menu and you can select save image. ( it’s like right clicking in windows )
From my testing:
They can, to a degree. The snap will accommodate some rotation in the jig but it has its limits).
It was never a recommendation from Glowforge, but from my testing yes, with some caveats. They can’t be perfectly vertically aligned. IIRC, if they are perfectly aligned, it would flip the design 180 for some reason. The only way I got this to work, was for the bottom Snapmark to be offset slightly to the right of the top Snapmark.
As for multiple jobs with multiple sets of Snapmarks in one design, no, unless that’s changed but I’m pretty sure it hasn’t.
No trackpad, unfortunately, but I finally figured it out! Thanks for trying to help, guys.
For any one else on the struggle bus, you want to select “save link” (right under bookmark link). Which makes not very much sense to me, but woot!
In addition to the two-finger trackpad tap, you should also be able to hold down the option key while clicking to get the context menu.
Right click on the file and select “save image as”
Yeah, weirdly not an option. That’s what was throwing me off. The only save option is save link. Which I hadn’t encountered before.
Thank you so much, @Jules! This was very helpful. Snapmarks are glorious; I think I might have feelings for them.
I definitely do…that’s not even a strange thing to say. 
@Jules - I’m just now trying the snapmarks - of course, for a major project, and I’m not able to get the Snap to work. Using inkscape, the marks were indeed resized, but when I attempt to correct them to your specified dimensions. I’m not sure they are ACTUALLY the correct size because of the precision in the Inkscape toolbar (only showing 3 digits to the right of the decimal), so it appears as if they are slightly mis-sized (0.333 x 0.405). There is probably an easy way to change the toolbar precision display to 4 decimals to the right of the decimal, but I have not been able to find it. Any suggestions?
Good news is that for the project (putting company logos on wood presentation boards for a CXO meeting next week), I’m able to manually align the “incorrectly size” snapmarks onto my jig, and the (manual) visual alignment is amazingly good.
Ugh…I’m not the world’s greatest expert with Inkscape. I’m sure there is a place you can specify the display units in the Document Properties - you might try that.
Or you can try setting the units to mm and using that equivalent. 8.438 mm x 10.279 mm.
I suspect that’s probably close enough though…if the mm thing doesn’t work, be sure to report it to Bonny on the other thread. There might be a problem that is machine specific and they’ll need to look at it.
Thanks. I may end up having to post a few examples of some “chair-keyboard interface errors” on my part as well… I can guarantee that ENGRAVED snap mark symbols DEFINITELY don’t work… and while I’m using the snap marks as manual guides, the GFUI interprets them as CUT… so I literally just accidentally cut out the snapmark on the template… Oh well, good lessons learned… 
As always. thanks for the suggestions on the MM setting.
And one other VERY cool thing I learned from this project ( not directly snapmark related, but would be a great thing to use them with)… is that as long as you leave sufficient space around the edge of a QR code, ENGRAVED QR CODES scan beautifully.
I’m not sure of a particular reason to engrave them? Was that just an experiment? They are meant to be scored into the material.
That said - I don’t know how engraving would impact the Snapmark ability. You need the Snapmarks in the file for it to work - and I’m not sure what changing the Snapmarks to an engrave would do to the file as the UI sees it.
It was an accident. When I say “Chair Keyboard Interface Error” it’s just a euphamism for “User Error” (.e.g - my mistake) It happened because I am engraving images. and wasn’t thinking properly about the score vs. engrave. Luckily the visual alignment in the jig is close enough to finish the project, and then I’ll work on getting Snapmarks down right.
I’ll also add that the result was a barely recognizable Glowforge logo that can only be described as “Crispy”… 
Here’s a picture so people can avoid the need to do it themselves…
Ah yes, …the open path engrave. (Looks familiar.) 
So Jules, is there a trick to get the matching SnapMark logos NOT show up as a cut? Since I decided to do the alignment manually in order to finish the project by early afternoon, I’ve only managed to cut the SnapMark logo about 5 times( luckily totally outside my project material) since it defaults to cut. Any suggestions on how to mitigate against this (or similar) human error in the future? Is there a way to default a particular color to IGNORE in the GFUI? If not, do you (and anyone else) think that might be a good idea for Dan’s hopper?
