• export files,
• open settings dialog,

Apart from standard g-code, user can also import DXF files, PLT/HPGL files, Gerber files, NC Drill (Excellon) files for drilling holes, images, texts… These files are all converted to g-code and can be used for cutting. There is also special airfoil importer for those with foam cutter.

G-code can also be exported to DXF or CSV file. It can also be exported to RAW for use with SD card.

There are different views which can be zoomed or centered. View origin can be changed. Individual display components can be shown or hidden. Controller inputs and outputs can be monitored.
