Added what you can do in inkskape portion
*Snapping panel on right
*Floating windows which can be docked (including Stroke and Fill, Layers, et al.)
==What you can do:==
*Draw free hand lines, shapes, rectangles, and squares
*Fill in the stroke, change the color of an object on the right hand side or at the bottom
*You can do full color or gradients
*Additionally, stroke paint can make the stroke style bigger and change the color. For ex. make the stroke red to cut out shapes on laser cutter
*Plane line is ideal for laser (stroke needs to be 0.025 mm in width)
*For laser cutter engravements the color would need to be black
*Outlining a letter would need to be in blue
*eraser erases the paths for lines, works with the free hand lines
*Bring in pictures into inkskape, drag it in from google (go for outlines of images to make things easier)
*Import image, right click, path, trace bitmap, embedded image, live preview (makes it black and white), change threshhold to ensure outline is clear and visible
*Save images as svg for laser cutter
*Add layers, change the name of layers, delete layers, hide layers
*Layer names displayed at the bottom
*Generally, don't need to draw in page, you can draw anywhere
*Put two opjects together with union at top right
*Snapping is similar to grouping, you can put a star in the corner of where the rectangle meets it automatically goes to the corner
*Enable snapping on the right hand side and it only snaps to boxes <br />
