Where can i get good very basic tutorials on Working with nodes? I have a CNC plasma cutter and use X5 for simple sign design, mostly wire frame and fonts. I'm having trouble working with the nodes. For example what are the red nodes or what ever they are called. I kind of understand the blue nodes, but would like to find a toutorial on making adjustments. Maybe i'm just to new or too old.
Thanks,
Rog
Rog,
I would suggest your first line of attack should be:
http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/ca/en/Content/1152796556718
and check out the tutorials.
I had been on the Corel tutorials, however i feel like they skip to much of the basics. I 'm very new to this so still figuring out the simple stuff they assume you should know.
Hello Rog; It's me again. It is a lot to learn in todays graphic software, and it helps if you have some kind of back ground, but you can get started by trying to do something like draw a box and then reshape it to make something ( a rabbit or anything ) and if you have problems look for a anser for it. And to get going faster see if you can find someone using Corel and ask if you can look over there sholder. ( sign shop, print shop, ect. ) but keep in mind that not all the people that use Corel are up to a 100% in the program. Most people like me learn what they need to do with it and kind of stay at that level ( like me ) but after seeing what can be done I'm starting to pick-up things from the guys and gals here. If you were close to Richmond, Va. you could bring a case of beer over and I could show you everything I know about Corel ( it would take about 10 min. 5 min for the computer to start ) GOOD LUCK and have FUN learning.

Hi George.
Completely agreed. I think that's how I learned everything I know.
I have quite a few PHP applications that I wrote a while ago. I look at them even now and wonder how in the hell I did it.
Easy when you actually think about it. Start with a goal in mind, large or small, and just begin. Along the way you tackle each hurdle as it comes and learn tremendously upon crossing each. Before you know it you'll have accomplished your goal. Then you can sit back and admire your work.
Of course I'm a big fan of making smart business choices and Foster's videos are nothing but. Devote a whole week or two and they'll boost you into a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.
