# TruCUT RDWorks Training

## Overview article

https://softwaretraining.co.za/learn-trucut-rdworks  
(Published publicly 8 December 2021; long-form article describing the series.)

## Software role

**TruCUT RDWorks** is described as design software that works with the **laser cutter range supplied by AM.CO.ZA**. After purchase, customers get basic operational training from technical staff; this site then hosts short topic-specific videos for deeper proficiency.

## Series coverage (as described publicly)

- Main menu overview; tools from first principles (no prior RDWorks knowledge assumed beyond basic computer/design literacy).
- **Text tool** deep-dive — location, fonts, editable vs non-editable text, spacing, scaling, numbers starting with zero, etc.
- **Image library** — import/export, vector vs raster processes.
- **File parameters** — rotation, graphics editing, auto-close curves, etc.
- **Tips and tricks** from an experienced user — light layers, grouped cuts, language settings, and more.
- **Laser process** — cutting speed and power, laser position, file loading and cutting.
- **Engraving preparation** — external apps such as PhotoShop, then import into TruCUT RDWorks.
- Comparison content for users of **both TruCUT and VinylCut** (strengths of each).
- Productivity — shortcuts/hotkeys, shape transformation, nesting multiple items.
- Related mini-series linked from the article: Image Library Process, Text Tool, LGP design videos, Start/Pause/Stop, Path Type tools, Align tools, Backup/Restore Vendors, row length settings, etc.

## Cut / plot

Vinyl-cutter archive also lists a **TruCUT RDWorks Using the Cut and Plot** mini-series index, bridging laser design software with cut/plot workflows.

## Training philosophy called out

Videos are free for existing customers depending on systems/applications used; self-paced; can be rewatched; tip sections go beyond rigid course syllabi.
