Fifty name tags from a list, part 1 of 7: One tag, drawn

From a blank drawing: a 70 by 25 mm tag with rounded corners and a cord hole on the Cut layer, and on the Engrave layer a name and a line of small letters whose words are fields in braces, with a thin bar between them. The serial number field shows 001 at once.

Fifty name tags from a list: the whole project

Fifty name tags were made from one drawn tag and a spreadsheet list. The film shows drawing with typed sizes and layers, text and a QR code with fields in braces, a CSV list filling them, Make many laying out a copy for every row, the laser job with its Fill and Line layers, tabs, order, run time, kept settings and start point, the preview with its clock, and the Machine window with a pretend laser: connect, home, frame, start, pause, resume.
