Also known as `https://softwaretraining.co.za/?p=34814` (shortlink on this URL; **not separately re-fetched**).

**What this is:** One public English how-to page on **softwaretraining.co.za**, an AM.CO.ZA training-video project ([achievement.co.za directory](https://achievement.co.za/) describes SoftwareTraining as an AM.CO.ZA project of short problem-solving CNC software videos). **InkRIP is AM software** (AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Easy RIP). This page is **Part 1** of the mini-series *Transform your Imported Designs within the AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Software* (Layout Feature / transforming your design with the Layout Feature). **This is a part, not an INDEX.** Distinct from the already-ingested transform INDEX `training/inkrip-transform-imported-designs.md` (source [https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-transform-imported-designs](https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-transform-imported-designs); avia prev chrome on this URL; **not recrawled**), from already-ingested toolbar INDEX `training/inkrip-toolbar-options.md` (source [https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-toolbar-options](https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-toolbar-options)), from already-ingested toolbar-series Parts 1-8 including Part 8 `training/inkrip-adding-footnotes.md` (source [https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-adding-footnotes](https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-adding-footnotes); toolbar mini-series complete; **not recrawled**), from category summary `training/inkrip-and-rip-training.md` (source [https://softwaretraining.co.za/training-videos/rip](https://softwaretraining.co.za/training-videos/rip)), from printer-drivers INDEX `training/inkrip-printer-drivers.md`, from ICC INDEX `training/inkrip-icc-profiles-manager.md`, from ICC Parts 1-11 including `training/inkrip-use-new-icc-profile.md` and `training/inkrip-icc-profiles-import-export.md` (ICC Color Manager mini-series complete; not this transform how-to), from printer-driver Parts 1-8 including `training/inkrip-driver-import-export.md`, and from `youtube/inkrip-howtos.md`. Named as next chrome on the already-ingested transform INDEX (body index: "PART 1 – Layout Feature"; avia next: "Transforming your design with the Layout Feature Within the AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Software (Part 1)"; related_url inkrip-transform-design-layout; transform INDEX Part 1 `?p=34814`; cited, not re-fetched).

**Not FlexiPRINT / PrintEXP / UltraPrint / AcroRIP.** Distinct: PrintEXP (AM software, different RIP), UltraPrint (not AM software), AcroRIP, WellPrintEXP (stored/OEM), FlexiPRINT / FlexiSTARTER (SAi third-party stored). Sidebar related-video chrome on this URL names FabriCAM / CorelDRAW / other clips; those are different pages, not this how-to, and were not fetched.
