Info

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.
Materials / Methods Association
This driver includes an Editor tab. Learn more about it with the following dedicated articles:
- How to automatically associate materials/methods with the GrandCut Editor?
- How to manually associate materials and methods between CalderaRIP and the controller? (If you have problems using the Editor tab, this article covers the overall manual process, regardless of driver)
Recommendations
If your production requires it, you may use third-party software to check measurements. Caldera recommends you use the open-source LibreCad.
