• 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:
