The next step will be laying out the 3D model

for cutting. Click on the Cutting Position button

interface.

A Cutting Position Setup dialog box pops up.

There are 2 tags displayed; namely X and Y

Directions, and Z Direction. These allow the user

Model Position - species the cutting position of

the model in the X and Y directions.*
