Useful threads, How-to's and other information

[SoundManCO]

There is so much good information in this section of the forum and it is getting hard to find it all. A single thread that is a sticky with links to the useful information seems to be needed. I did a few how-to's and there are a few others that should be linked and then there are some set-up and configuration threads that should be in here as well. I figured I would get the ball rolling on this and then a mod can stick it to the top of the forum. This is just a start so ad the links you find help you the most.

How do I or how-to's;

Trace an image in TM-CAD-Lite

CAD-Lite, Tool Paths

CAD-Lite, weld on bead locks

Please post links to threads that have helped you get going, get set up or the things that you have found useful in this forum and I will ad the links so there is only one place to go to find these things. I searched for the cut/charge sheet thread and came up empty. It should be in here for sure IMO.

Thanks SoundMan! I stuck the thread at the top. I will most likely delete any posts on this thread other than actual "how to" links. Just a heads up, if anyone has questions about these particular items, post up questions in the forum as a new thread rather than cluttering this thread with them.

If I had the full version CAD I would do it. If anyone else has it and wants to post a walk through I will link it in here.
