Illustrator - First Lesson

Illustrator is the programme that we need to use with the Lasercutter, therefore I have downloaded Illustrator and have put my patterns into Illustrator.
We opened up a new document in illustrator, you can have multiple art boards up on illustrator to work with. The fill is on the top and the stroke is at the back behind the fill and you can double click to change the colours. in appearance you can change the line width by changing the stroke amount. \the white mouse will allow you to select a point and move a point around. With the pen tool you can create a circle and then using the straight line turn any curved lines into straight lines to create a square
