Shout out Kudos to the LB dev team for those responsible for this feature. I’ve used it often, I like it over Print-and-Cut which is similar. Today I had another large plasma job that exceeded the size of my CNC work area, so I sectioned off the design at 2 sharp corners that allowed me to cut left and right halves of the overall job. I have to Export my design in .SVG for Importing into SheetCAM, which builds my plasma toolpath. Without having to precisely maneuver/position a heavy sheet of steel in the work area, rather I simply used Two-Point Rotate/Scale to precisely orient my design to the random position of the steel sheet after I shifted it in the work area so I could cut the second section. Once oriented correctly, I Exported, then in SC I used a feature it has to align a point in the drawing to a precise XY coordinate which I obtained from LB.  
Again, well done on this feature. Thank you.
