In general, you set the origin near the lower right corner of the material, as you did during your initial test
drawing in
Section 1.13.
2.05.1 Setting an Origin Using the Camera
•
In the event you need to set an extremely precise origin, the
Skycut’s built-in camera can be used:
(1) Go to
Section 3.03
and perform the camera calibration.
(2) Choose where you want the origin to be set.
You’ll need an “origin target” to use when the camera takes
a photo. It can be a dot on your material, the corner of your material, the intersection of grid lines on the
mat, etc. If you do choose the latter, make sure there’s a way to clearly distinguish which intersection
you want to use.
(3)
On the Skycut’s
Main Screen
, use the arrows to move the center of the blade holder roughly over the
origin target. In this example, a dot will be used.
(4) Select
Set
and
Camera
. In the
Camera Screen
, press
OK
. A photo will be taken and displayed. If
needed, press
X3
so that you are zoomed out and able to see the origin target (dot) in the photo:
(5) Press the center of the origin target in the photo so that the
red +
will be moved approximately over it:
