Remove Drawing, Insert Proofgrade™
Turn to your Glowforge. Say hi. Remove
your drawing and place a piece of medium
Proofgrade plywood on the center of the bed
(it is v ery important you choose Plywood... so
the fun 'snap' part of the project works... more
later). Close the lid.
Size Your Artwork and Place it in the Design
In the app, the Workspace shows both design
and artwork above your material. Drag the box
design where you'd like it printed - somewhere
like the top edge to save material.
Place your artwork within the design. In this
case, we've dragged the artwork onto the box
lid.
Shrink your artwork to fit by clicking and
dragging a corner. This works for any part of
the print, but don't resize the box design or
assembly won't work! The outer lines of the
box design will be cut, so any artwork outside
those lines won't be part of your final product.
To fine-tune placement, nudge selected objects
using your arrow keys. Holding shift while using
the arrow keys gives you bigger nudges.
Note: It's not just the lid! You can place artwork on any of the box's surfaces. Just note that two of the
sides are cut out upside down to save material, so make sure your artwork is the right way up for the
surface it's on. Any selection that can be rotated will have a rotation handle at the top.
