Any tips to learn solid edge and inkscape?

[dunnmfg]

Hello guys,

I just recently puchased a 10x5 arclight dynamics plasma table and it came with inkscape and solid edge 2d drafting which I know nothing baout both. Is there any websites or books to read to learn these programs? I understand sheetcam enough to create tools and operations. I also feal comfortable about mach3 and running that. Basically if someone gives me dxf file I can cut it but I want to learn how to do the drawing and editing myself!! Thanks for your help.

They might not seem to have anything in common with cnc plasma stuff but these 3 really helped me get to know my way around inkscape, and it will get you familiar with the boolean tools
