In the world of digital design and manufacturing, single-line fonts, also known as engraving fonts, technical lettering fonts, or pen plotter fonts, have emerged as an essential tool for a specific purpose. These fonts diverge from the traditional outline or fill fonts, as they are designed with a single continuous line. Widely employed in CNC machining, laser cutting, and pen plotters, these fonts offer unique benefits that set them apart from their traditional counterparts.
We often have to translate materials from one language to another to create manuals. Unfortunately, general translation services are not designed to handle technical terminology correctly. This is why we have been tasked with creating a list of the most common words used in our work. This list contains words and expressions in English and their translation into Ukrainian.
Professional terminology is very important as it allows a clear definition of the concept. The suppression of the Ukrainian language and the dominance of Russian-language technical literature have resulted in the loss of specific Ukrainian professional terms. This has resulted in the surdification of the speaker of technical knowledge. Although many terms have similar sounding and therefore can be recovered, there are still cases when terms in Ukrainian and Russian are significantly different and require separate study. In this article we will try to collect Ukrainian equivalents of the Russian terms for the most common and widely used in our activities. This in turn will help us to create better guide materials in the future.
When working with Valentina files in general, and measure files in particular, there are times when restrictions, either intentional or due to software limitations, prevent the necessary changes from being made. In these cases, the solution is to edit the files manually.
We have recently had a lot of questions from users on the subject of “How is a beginner’s video course different from a user’s guide? And which is the better choice for learning?”.
This question is controversial and needs to be considered in more detail.
This question cannot be answered unambiguously. Because, firstly, it all depends on your current level of training and knowledge of Valentina. And secondly, it depends on whether you prefer a book learning format or a video tutorial format.
Let’s explore this in more detail.
In the distant past, when the mouse had not yet been invented, interaction with the computer took place solely through the keyboard. Much time has passed since then. And systems such as Windows and Mac OS have popularised the use of the mouse to interact with the graphical interface. In today’s world, we can’t imagine using a PC without a mouse. So many programs rely on it. Valentina is no exception in this case.
However, old ideas don’t disappear, just new ones are added on top of them. So keyboard skills are just as relevant today. What separates the professional from the amateur is the ability to work with keyboard shortcuts.
The command line is a powerful way to interact with the operating system and programs. It’s also a great way to automate the launching of commands. In this article, we’ll look at the basic principles of working with the command line when working with the Valentina pattern making program.
We use the Transifex service to translate Valentina’s interface. In this article you will learn how to join the translation team and help translate.
From time to time, questions arise about how to make requests for new functions. In the previous article, we already touched upon the subject of new function requests. In this one, we will take a closer look at the algorithm.
In this article we will look at working with formulas in the Valentina pattern making software. From simple cases to complex ones.
