[https://inkscape.org/ Inkscape] is an open source software for vector drawing. Both the [[Workshop: Introduction to 2D laser cutting with the Universal PLS4.75 Laser Cutter|Laser Cutter]] and the [[Workshop: Introduction to 2D vector cutting with the GCC Jaguar VLX Vinyl Cutter|Vinyl Cutter]] use Inkscape to create designs.
You can learn how to use the basic functions of Inkscape in our [[Workshop: Introduction to 2D CAD (with Inkscape)|workshop]]. Additionally, Inkscape has their own Wiki which can be found [https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Inkscape here].
There are also some secondary settings that are helpful when making your own projects.
==Tracing an Image==
Inkscape has a useful tool for converting colored, shaded, or other images into vector images that Inkscape draws in. The tracer that Inkscape provides does not fully copy your image into your drawing; It does however, give you options to choose curves and the definition of a picture for you to use in your drawing.
