Cloud-syncing is your friend.Not sure how to contour cut your printed transfers with a Vinyl Systems Edge or Evo cutter? Today we will guide you through the process of contour cutting in SignMaster Pro, which is included with all sizes of the Edge and Evo vinyl cutters.
If you're hoping for a direct way to transfer files, there isn't one - but you can use something like Google Drive, same as you would if you weren't remotely connected.That will likely require you to scroll around the virtual desktop, but you'll see the much sharper native resolution of your Chromebook. If you want a clearer image, click the aforementioned menu bar, choose Options, then disable Shrink to fit. Owing to differences in screen resolution, what you see on your Chromebook might look a little grainy.You might want to mute the latter's speakers before leaving. Note, however, that anything involving audio (like listening to an iTunes playlist) will be heard not just on the remote Chromebook, but also on the desktop. Speaking of speed, this might not be the best option for things like streaming video or playing games, though such tasks are possible if the connections are good.A slow connection will result in slow screen updates.
To save time in the future, click the check box that prevents you having to enter the PIN every single time. You should see your desktop listed there click it, then enter your PIN. Once again, click Get started in the My Computers section. Once again, head to the Chrome Web Store to access CRD - though it should already be installed as part of your Google accounts keeping in sync. Making the connectionįor this to work, your Chromebook needs to be signed into the same Google account as your desktop. Although some remote-access tools can remotely waken a sleeping PC, CRD isn't one of them. Once that's done, just make sure to leave your Windows PC running, and to tweak the power settings so it doesn't go into standby mode after a period of inactivity. It needs to be numeric and at least six digits. Next, you'll need to choose a security PIN for that host PC. (Once it's downloaded, you'll need to manually launch the installer.) Click the Get started button in the latter section, then click Enable remote connections. Once you get to the main setup screen, you'll see two options: Remote Assistance and My Computers.
To get started, fire up your Windows PC and install Chrome Remote Desktop (hereafter "CRD"). There are many remote-access tools that make this possible, but the best place to start is with Google's own Chrome Remote Desktop. For all intents and purposes, it's like you're sitting in front of your Windows machine - while you're in front of your Chromebook.
The Windows PC runs a remote-connectivity app that stays active while you're away the Chromebook connects to that app and accesses the remote Windows desktop inside your browser, where you can run programs, update settings or whatever. If you've never tried this, it may sound odd - but it works quite well. Run a high-end video editor like Cyberlink PowerDirector 14 on a Chromebook? It can be done, provided you've got a Windows PC at the other end.
