3. Commit the shape
Press Save Changes or Enter to add the square to the active layer. Cancel closes the form without creating geometry.
The finished path is ready for vector cut or score operations in the Operations tab. Or, select square > right click for operation shortcuts.
4. Editing later
Select an existing square to open Edit Square. You can rename it, adjust dimensions, or Delete it from the project.
Laser layout notes
Squares are closed paths, ideal for perimeter cuts. After placing several squares, use Repeat (Grid) to duplicate a layout across the sheet. For rounded machining-style corners on nested parts, see Fillet.
