It sounds like a good test but as soon as you said draw something on a piece of paper, it’s a non starter. Brain too fried for this at the moment.
What I am concentrating on at the moment is understanding the interface, importing and placing the graphic files I created. I think I have that process figured out at the moment and will upload something shortly.
I hope I can address your concerns in future sessions. I have something ready to go regarding importing various file formats and how they work. But I won’t print anything till later. I have to disconnect and get to the woods.
Okay, but the example I suggested could be done on any medium. But it doesn’t matter.
I don’t want to cause any additional stress on @marmak3261. His comment about being burnt out is concerning.
Thanks @marmak3261. @dan
I’m trying to distill the question to a simplified yes/no response with a “we’d love to put that in the hopper” if no.
Does the drawing placement (relative to inch guides on top and left of interface) register (lock automatically) to the zero point.
Does the inch guide at top and left have a locked register to the zero of the laser head
Now while I normally enjoy the banter and wisecracking of the comments from the community at large, I would prefer that Dan or marmak respond with a definitive answer.
Just wanted to mention…If @marmak3261 responds, you still will not have the definitive answer. It’s a Pre-Release unit running on a separate version of the software that is not fully functional yet.
Thanks denmother @Jules and funnyguy @tbelhumer for your predictable responses. If @marmak3261 responds, I will have definitive answer for what exists currently. It’s a Pre-Release unit, but that functionality will likely not be removed. If @dan responds, I will have about as much information, because it is likely a hopper item that may/may not be pursued in development.
thank you for your predictable response to my predictable response. (In case you haven’t noticed I’m feeling a bit cheeky this evening) I think I may be done now…
And to be fair, I never would have injected a useless response to your inquiry had you ended without the condescending quoted statement. I’m affraid I may need to take a break from the forums…
I have that on my todo list for tonight and will get to it, if I can understand it, along with some version of @karaelena’s test, but with some proofgrade and also @Hirudin’s ruler in acrylic.
Hey, I may have missed it if someone else has said this but… Remember it’s far more important for you to use the Glowforge at your own pace, for the things you enjoy. It’s great if you have the desire, time and energy to provide feedback, but we all know that the forum will be relentless. Given your vocation, being self first may not be in your nature.
Thanks. A few hours in the woods worked wonders. Just sat down and ate a nice hamburger with some dill pickles I had made last summer. Tomorrow is all real work till late, which will be a good break. My only thought is that it would be nice to have company, like Norm or some other folks. Will happen soon enough.
Oh, and I
Made some pies. That helps. Had some pumpkin pie filling left that I had mixed up and needed to get it out of the fridge before it started growing things. Roasted pumpkin and sweet potato. Might crust. On sale for 75¢ after T-Day.
