+Orientation points are used to calculate transformation (offset,scale,mirror,rotation in XY plane) of the path.
+3-points mode only: do not put all three into one line (use 2-points mode instead).
+You can modify Z surface, Z depth values later using text tool (3rd coordinates).
+If there are no orientation points inside current layer, they are taken from the upper layer.
+Do not ungroup orientation points!
+You can select them using double click to enter the group or by Ctrl+Click. Now press apply to create control points (independent set for each layer).

+Gcodetools plug-in:
+Converts paths to Gcode (using circular interpolation), makes offset paths and engraves sharp corners using cone cutters. This plug-in calculates Gcode for paths using circular interpolation or linear motion when needed.
