Two-rail dials size the numerals from the border width — they must touch both rings.

The hole is cut narrower by half the kerf, so it fits the shaft instead of ending up loose. A 3 mm ring of solid material around it is always kept on every layer.

BOUNDARIES
✅ ≥1.0 mm cut · ⚠️ 0.8–1.0 mm fragile · ✏️ 0.5–0.8 mm engrave · 📏 <0.5 mm score line
Thickness
Tick the terrain to include — the very same is cut in your export file.
ENGRAVED TEXT
Size 12 mm
Engraved into the board — cyan layer in the file, no plate. Drag it on the map.
STREET & AREA LABELS
Size 4.5 mm
Rotation 0°
Names from the map (Mapbox). Each label = a small cut tag with the name scored inside, part of the STREETS layer — welded to streets it touches, a separate piece when away from them. Drag on the map to move.
LAKE
Shoreline & islands = thin black cut line (like water in 3D maps). Isobaths = engraved lines, thickness above. 3D layers: each depth exports as its own cut file with a registration frame, a distinct colour and the depth engraved.
Engraved text
The name shrinks by itself to fit, and any numeral it covers is dropped from the dial.

Love story
Click a heart on the board to select it — then search the city, scroll to zoom, drag to move the map. ♥ adds a golden heart you can drag.
Map pins engraved marker
15 mm
Click a shape to drop it at the map centre, then drag it into place.
Compass points north
Drops at the map centre — drag it anywhere. Two variants: cut circle on the street layer with the compass engraved inside, or engraved on land with clear space around it. Always points north.
Logo / SVG weld into a layer
Upload an SVG mark/logo, drag it on the map, and pick a layer (Streets / Cut / Land). It welds into that layer's cut — like a pin merges with the streets.
4 mm
The route is engraved as a separate black layer, never merged with the streets. Minimum width 2 mm.
Map labels engraved text tag
Short name — up to 80 characters, max 4 lines. Drag it on the map to place it — engraved in the street colour, aligned to the map.
