There are some courtesies that have evolved over the years the CR forum has been on UKS, they are not rules, it is up to you, but it would be nice to see them continue.

If you use a font for a design can you add the name of the font for all the font addicts and depending how you have used the font, if someone doesn't have that font on their computer they won't be able to cut the file.

If you use the same font for more than 1 file and you upload the files separately, can you add the name of the font to each post, as the files are moved into the permanent sections so no one is going to know that you added the name of the font to another post.

Can you add a screen shot or picture of the finished project in JPEG format, so members don't have to open or download the files to see them.

When uploading GRA files can you also upload a GSD version for the many people who don't have Design Master. There it an excellent tutorial in the DM section of tutorials on how to convert them.

Before uploading files created or converted in Inkscape 4.6 or earlier, can you change all the lines to black or if it has layers another colour, as newcomers might not know that the turquoise lines will crash the Robo Master program if they try to edit the nodes for any reason eg to reduce them for faster cutting.

When people use the search option to find designs, it does not select posts by using the words in the uploaded file title, so if there is no reference to what the file contains in your message please add extra search words.

If you download a file don't forget to leave a thank you message.

Do not upload files into someone else's thread please start a new thread.

Do not upload sketches for people to trace in lieu of a cutting file, please trace them yourself and then upload the GSD file.

IF YOU USE ONE OF THESE FREE FILES PLEASE UPLOAD A PICTURE INTO THE 'NEW WORK' THREAD IN THE CHAT FORUM WE LOVE TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE HAVE DONE WITH THEM.

:thanks::thanks:

We are happy for people to include a "watermark" in their cut files, but please only include a name copyright, not a url of a site, especially as a non-sponsor. We view a URL of a site where you may sell templates within a template as advertising.

We ask UKS sponsors to abide by this as well, and editing out the URL if you are no longer a sponsor is a lot of work.

As Inkscape which is a free open source vector graphic program available to everyone and will cut directly to the Craft Robo, you can now upload SVG files

You can now upload SVG files without zipping them :D

Also MaryAnne and I have had a discussion and it's been decided that as anyone can download Inkscape the files DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A GSD ATTACHED, people can download the program and save as DXF if they want to use the files at no cost, if you want to add a GSD you are welcome to do so.

Please do not upload files that you have shared in the past in GSD format this is only for files uploaded from today
