Trace images captured by your camera”? Did not know that was in the toolbox!!!

Oh yes! It’s very, very handy.

I have an IPEVO camera on a gooseneck I could use instead of laying my paper in the laser bed. This will eliminate about 5 steps involving the printer scanner. Life is good!

Edit: I added the IPEVO, made a height stick, did a focus test with April tags, and used my alignment test burn for the Alignment. Now I have Desktop Tracing activated!
