Any Testing Patterns?

[Carved4u]

Hi- I'm new and excited!

I would really like to "put the machine to the test" - has anyone created a sampler of functions that I could run through and use as a reference to key features / design elements?

Thanks in advance -
Anyone want to be an email buddy / mentor for a while to help get my confidence up?

There are two good tutorials here: http://www.allcw.com/Tutorials.html

One is by Bob Hill and the other by myself. They cover some of the basic functions of the software and are a good place to start. It is good to start out small, for example, carve a single pattern on a board, and work your way up.

You best friend, by far, in your CW journey is the 'forums Search' feature. There is 99% chance that when you get stumped, someone else has had the same problem and you can quickly find a solution.
