 What is up? Welcome back. We're gonna start trying something new. On Tuesdays We're gonna try this how-to Tuesdays where we take a tip that we've done in a previous video We isolate it and do a deep dive. This week We're gonna do how to make fonts in Illustrator Cuttable for the Glowforge or Cricut or any CNC type device We're gonna jump into Illustrator and go real slow step by step All right, let's start with a new file. We'll create new We'll use this 11 by 48 print It's like three pickets wide to three small pickets And we'll go with our type tool. We'll start with incredibly Incredibly Incredibly, I hope I spelled it right then we're gonna use our selection tool And we're gonna grab one of these anchors hold shift We make it big looks like I spelled it right Let's grab one of these anchors see how it turns into a Like a rotate Kind of turns into like a rotate Cursor we're gonna hold shift Click it twice boop boop That'll lock it on its 45s. All right, we'll put incredibly here Back to the type tool We're gonna oh Control Z that I'll do it hold down the type tool. We're gonna go to vertical type tool vertical And we're gonna be thankful That's fine. It's too small. Let's go to our selection tool. We'll grab an anchor again. Hold shift This will keep the proportions Zoop thankful. All right, let's change these fonts This font is going to be like Bring them or something something like that Oh Birmingham We're gonna get with a Birmingham We'll go bold and then this one is gonna be I Forgot what it is Something I don't know when I see it. Oh, there it is Lambria That's a little big. We'll go over here and we'll make it 46 inches tall Look at that. Let's stretch this out. We'll make this 46 inches tall We'll select them both holding the Shift key and we'll go ahead and align them vertically in the center That's pretty good. Not bad Moving in a little closer Let's look and both see how wide it is. All right, we're just under 11 that works Incredibly looks okay Looks a little thin So let's go over here and we're gonna add a stroke Make a black stroke Do five points. All right looks good We're gonna make both of these Cuttable now, so we'll go to type Create outlines or shift control. Oh, bam created outlines Now you'll see over here incredibly you can see the tails of each of these so we're gonna go ahead and view Pathfinder tool. Oh, sorry window Pathfinder tool We're gonna merge all of these or unite Now remember I put a stroke on these I put a stroke on incredible. So we're gonna go back to object path Outline stroke now you see it's got like three lines around it Oops See Got three lines Make sure they're all selected and go back to the Pathfinder tool and we'll unite again that made it that thickness This looks okay. We'll unite it anyway because I see some straggler lines So we'll unite bam it got rid of those straggler lines We're gonna control Shift alt That'll give us our out Or that'll give us our Unmagnify, I don't know. All right. Everything looks good. Let's make these cuttable. We'll select them both I'm gonna get rid of the fill no fill And then I'm gonna add a stroke of red This will let me know that it's cuttable inside of Glowforge now I'm gonna export this so we're gonna export as Incredibly thankful Thanks, thankful but today's the end Oh six 21 Export now we're gonna want to use the presentation address at we're gonna want to use the presentation attributes Keep the font SVG Embedded images we don't have any images object names as the layers And okay Now we'll come over to Glowforge. Let's see if it worked create a look from file Mm-hmm Date Incredibly thankful. There it is zoom out Go up here and make it a pass through And we're gonna use thick draft board settings We'll select everything and move it up. We start from the bottom shoe All right looks great. I'm gonna go turn on the Glowforge and start this cut You
