simplest workflow for producing a model from an .stl file. For information on
other software features, please refer to the user manual and website.

On starting AutoMaker™, the status screen will be the first screen that is

Layout Screen
This part of AutoMaker™ is used for laying out the parts you want to print and for
manipulating them (size, rotation, position). To add a new model, click the
Add Model button. This will display the Select a model dialog, which will allow
you to browse your computer for a model file in either .stl or .obj format. You will
find some sample models on the included USB Drive under '3D Models' . Once
you have selected a model, click Open to add to your project.
You will then see your chosen model displayed on the bed. You can manipulate
the view using the right mouse button:
To move an object around on the bed, simply select it with the left mouse button
and drag it to where you'd like it to be. <Ctrl> + left mouse click will allow you
to select multiple models, and <Ctrl> + <A> will select them all. If it is outside of
the build volume or overlapping with another object, the model will turn red to
indicate it cannot be printed. You can also scale and rotate models by typing
values into the input boxes on the left hand side of the screen.
