Tiled SVG export for cutting mats (Silhouette, Cricut)

Suggested on Reddit. Export the cutting templates as a set of SVG tiles sized for a cutting mat (12 × 12 in, 12 × 24 in, A4, A3), with registration marks and a numbered overview, so that a large panel can be cut on a desktop cutting machine without a plotter.

Import a photo or a scan and trace it automatically

Suggested on Reddit. Import a PNG or JPG (a sketch, a photo of an existing window, a scan) and turn its lines into editable paths. Today a photo can only be placed as a reference image and traced by hand.

A visible way to break a curve's symmetry, without the Alt key

Suggested on Facebook. Alt-dragging a bezier handle already frees it from its twin, but nothing shows it, and there is no Alt key on an iPad used without a keyboard. Add a control in the point's panel and a long-press gesture.

Named lead came types, with their own material and price

Suggested by u/User_Number-1 on Reddit. Today there are only two came profiles, H and U. Let users define their own came types and name them, the way glass colours are handled, so that two cames of the same size can differ by material (lead, zinc) and carry their own price per type or size.

Lead came totals per size in the materials list

Suggested by u/User_Number-1 on Reddit. The materials list gives a single total length of lead came. When a panel uses several sizes, show the total for each size.
