Using the Measure Feature

The Measure Feature is a very useful tool that can be used to set up both the machine's home position
and the plate size in the Vision 9 software.

To use this feature, turn on the engraver and press the Go to Home button. Open the Vision 9 software
with a new drawing and select the Plate Size icon on the top toolbar.

At the bottom of the plate size window, click on the Measure icon.
