Creating a Simple Design in Inkscape

You can create images from scratch using the various tools in Inkscape and then cut them from SignCut.
For this tutorial, we will be drawing a simple square just to show the steps of sending files from Inkscape
to SignCut and then making a cut.
Select the Square tool from the left of the main Inkscape window.
Now draw a rectangle by clicking and dragging the mouse in the main window, then releasing when the
desired size is met.
Now, click on the Fill and Stroke button at the top of the screen to edit the shape.
In the Fill and Stroke panel we will edit the colors of the shape to make it more identifiable once we get to
the SignCut program.
To edit the Fill and Stroke properties of the rectangle make sure that it is selected. If you haven‟t made any other shapes
or made any other changes in Inkscape it should still be selected. If it is selected you should see a dotted border
