How do you guys in today's video, we're gonna be looking at the design area or to cut already works. But before that, let's have a quick intro first. Yeah, so today's video can be found on softwaretraining.co.za. You guys all know as you make a variety of different Softwares or softwaretraining.co.za videos and also we upload videos daily otherwise, back in the programme here now just a quick reminder. This is a miniseries on the graphical user interface for To Cut Already Works. And I will also put relevant links and description so you guys can follow along now when it comes to the actual design area. This is this block. It's open year and anything that happens within. So that's where your design will be happening here. We've got design borders within our design area and that is, um, anything inside of this or be cut or laser card or so forth. Then we have these two low Barcia for the vertical and horizontal navigation. So you can move this to reposition uh, your area. You can also zoom in this top function here. We've got some zooming buttons, zoom out, and then the one I like to use a lot of show page. So if we're zoomed in, he just hits show page and or reposition everything for you. You can also navigate your design area with your mouse, so if you use a middle mouse click and you hold it in, then you can pan around. But in my opinion, the panning it's a bit glitchy, as you can see. If I panicked you there sometimes or he would say to their, Sometimes you have to first middle click again in order for it to update your pan used. So, um, if that does bother you always, you can always just use these and also to navigate your design area. You can also zoom when you use your mouse wheel in and out. Just keep in mind. This is relative to where your mouse cursor is, which is very nice. I prefer this over using the zoom tools on top so you can, um, isolate quite a nice area where you want to zoom with your mouth and then you just simply when you're done, you reset it to show page. We will cover the zoom tool that into more depth because there's some other features there. It's also quite handy, but yeah, otherwise, that is your design area. Like I said, most of your designing will be happening here and then also be a visual representation of how the final product will kind of look like Not obviously, exactly, but yeah, otherwise, we head here to softwaretraining.co.za zm You guys will know that we've got a variety of different Softwares will recover, and also if you, um typing something on a search bar magnifying glass. But it will try to find that for you. But if you guys don't find any videos, you're looking forward to school here. Request a training video and we will make that video for you. But otherwise thanks, guys, for watching and cheers.
