Specific features

  • Bottom-right origin: Origin will be placed at the bottom-right position instead of the bottom-left default position to suit your table's orientation
  • CCW auto rotation: Auto-rotation will go in a counter-clockwise direction, rather than clockwise
  • Generate segments rather than Bezier curves: Depending on the type of cutter you have, if it doesn't support Bezier curves, you can generate segments instead. 
  • Marks type:
    • "Dot" (for usual calibration with a camera).
    • "Square".
    • "Cross" (for manual calibration).
  • Output naming: Facilitate your job sorting by changing the format of output filenames.

Recommendations

If your production requires it, you may use third-party software to check measurements. Caldera recommends you use the open-source LibreCad.
