Positioning Controls

  • This allows the user to cut several of the test mats from a full sheet of matboard as you calibrate the circles.

  • It shows the full sheet of matboard with a representation of the last mat cut displayed.

  • When you have finished calibrating your circles, click OK to return to the Configurations Screen when done.
