Basic Drawing
Lasercut 5.3 provides the user with a selection of basic drawing functions.
These functions are very useful for creating quick drawings or to modify
imported items. For more complicated drawings it is recommend that you use
a 3rd party program like
​
Inkscape
​
and import the drawing as a
​
DXF
​
file.
Simple Shapes
These functions draw new items on the canvas.
Line
The line tool is the
simplest of all the tools.
The first click creates a
node which starts the
line, a second click
creates another node
which becomes the end
of the line. When the line
tool is placed near the
nodes of an existing line
LaserCut draws a small
green square around the
node, this means that
the new line will start (or
end) at exactly the same
location as that node.
Rectangle
The first click with the rectangle tool places a node as the top left hand corner
of a rectangle. The second click places a node in the bottom right hand corner.
All four corners of the rectangle become nodes which Lasercut can snap to.
Once placed the rectangle can be freely deformed by moving the corner nodes
around.
Holding down the ctrl key while the Ellipse is being drawn makes the height
and width the same length so the shape ends as a square.
Polyline
The polyline is very similar to the line tool. Each click places a new node and a
line is drawn straight between the new node and the previous node. The
polyline is ended by double clicking to place the final node.
Ellipse
The first click with the ellipse tool places a node as the top left hand corner of
an ellipse. The second click places a node in the bottom right hand corner. An
ellipse of the appropriate height and width is drawn within the specified
