- When creating a square, select a corner, then drag in the direction you want and type in the dimensions, e.g.
11",12"or1.5 cm, 2 cmor9 3/4", 12 7/8"

- Choose 1:1, leave all other options as default
- Press "Export" at the bottom
- Wait a moment, then a download option will appear at the top
- Put this file on a thumb drive, or save to your Google Drive, to import to the laser software
