follow up, found DarkTable has automatic perspective correction that worked perfectly! Thanks for the tut. Definitely saves some hand manipulation in the future!
Great videos man, I do a bit of sewing and incorporate a laser for a lot of the part cutting. I've been self learning but your videos are great keep up the good work, it's making my life easier.
If you have a projector, you can draw a rectangle of known dimension on a piece of dotted paper and hang it on a wall. Then draw a rectangle of the same dimension in illustrator, autocad, gerber etc.. Project your workspace matching the rectangle on your computer to the one on the wall via zooming, keying until they match exactly. now any patterns placed on the wall within your rectangle will be 1:1. Simply tape patterns within the rectangle and trace the patterns out in your application of choice! I use the rectangle's straight lines for CF, CB GRAIN etc... instead of tracing them so my pieces are automatically square in the computer. This method gives you the benefit of comparing the patterns with your digitized pieces and lets you edit/alter your 'digitized' patterns more accurately.
The square should be made in the exact same dimensions that it is represented by on the ruler. My ruler was an imperial ruler, but I use metric in illustrator, so I used the metric equivalent of 1", which is 25.4mm. If your ruler shows 1cm squares, you should use a 1cm square for the clipping. mask 🤙
this is a 5 Star hack right here! ***** thank you so much for this!
🤘🤘🤘
This is amazing, I’ve been trying to figure out how to scale an image when you know the size. Thanks for this.
You bet! 🚀
great idea! for those of us that only have CC, can that be done in Ps?
I do the same thing with Inkscape but that alignment tool for skew and keystone is super nice. Need to see if Inkscape has a plug-in similar.

HEYO! That’s awesome! I’m wanting to learn Inkscape. I thought it’d be easy but it’s tough coming from AI!

That’s why I do it!! 🙏

Cool, Thank you from Germany 🌺

If the quilting ruler is in metric units should the square in the clipping mask be transformed to 1 cm instead of 1 inch?

Get involved with the viewers. It seems that you are trying to do things for yourself and just recording without any proper communication.❤️
Lol. What??
