      Here, you'll also find details of the file you're downloading, including cut depths, bit sizes, and file names.

      On Origin

      Now that the file is in the My Files view, they can be placed on Origin. First, create a Scan and access Design Mode, then tap "Import." As long as the tool is connected to the Internet, and logged into your Shaper Account, the My Files view will appear in the Import Menu in a section called "Hardware."

      Custom Anchor Point

      In most of the files you might notice a red right triangle. This is a Custom Anchor Point: it tells Origin the point at which to orient the file for the most accurate placement based on the manufacturer's recommendations for perfect alignment and fit on your workpiece. You can read more about Custom Anchor Points by clicking here.
