guys in today's video truth that already works. We're going to be looking at setting up a cut area for your engraved image. But before that, let's have a quick intro first. Mhm. So today's video can be final softwaretraining.co.za hat's here today. We make sure that you need to watch problem solving videos, and we also have daily updates otherwise, back in the programme here. Now, just a quick reminder. This is a miniseries on the engraving prep, and I will also leave relevant links in description. So you guys actually follow along? Apologies about those birds in the background. It's quite early in the morning. Yeah. So then, um yeah. So now the cut area will cut out area. This will be Let's say you wanted to turn this into, like, a form of poster board, and you actually want to cut out around the room at the moment is just going to engrave it for you and then yeah, so we actually want to cut that area. You could also, depending on the graphics, Maybe you're making coasters or something like that. Set that up. So what I'm gonna do for this tutorial, we're just gonna go similar to the size of the current border, as we've already cropped it to quite a nice size. So now I'm gonna go here on my drawing on the left, select a rectangle. You have to make this any shape you want. And then I'm simply gonna draw a rectangle just about the same size as our previous or as our bit map image. Just place it there. And then what I wanna do is locate that. Let's try, see if we get this right. There we go. I'm gonna change the colour to rate. So we've got, like, a basic visual language that is consistent so they would go to read. And then we've got our engraving on top of that. So under the colours here, we can see we've got the bit map bmp and I'm grave and the moat also they cut and scan. But we'll be looking, um, the next video to actually set up so that they correspond correctly when you finally want to cut. Obviously, we won't be cutting the Assad seeing that all those titles and stuff which we wouldn't want, But in actual project, this is kind of what you can do. You can make your cutout area and you have your scan area, which will be the actual graphics. But in the meanwhile, if we had here to softwaretraining.co.za of the day. You guys don't notice you've got a variety of different software to recover, and also you can isolate your search on the top, right? If you do not, however, find the video. You're looking forward to request a training video filling the mini form. And then we will make that video for you. But otherwise thanks, guys for watching and chills.
