==Setting up the maslow as a machine==
Use these settings for the Maslow as a machine.  You need to do this so that tools setup for your machine are saved for the maslow, and not the ooznest.

==Sheet setup==
Use these settings on the left hand side to setup the work area.  Choose your own sheet dimensions, sheet depth and material.  We are using 9mm full sheet of MDF.  There's no real reason not to use a full sheet.  You must click OK before you can import.

XY datum position should be in the middle as that is the XY datum for the maslow.

==Importing DWG/SVG etc==
Click the import option.  If it is greyed out, it is because you have not clicked OK for the sheet material section.
