Also, in the neon function, it is possible to cut the tubes multiple of a number - for flexible neon
In cassettes, it is possible to create many studs in some types of cassettes
IMPORTANT! The parser in the script function has been updated (the previous one was sometimes wrong)- check the results if you use this function.
Small update of some features
In the nesting, you can use the largest object as container automatically
Create objects can create rectangles with rounded corners

Sandwich grouping can add everything to PowerClip
Minor improvements to the page combining functions and node extension.
Improvements in Nesting algorithms. New placement scenarios have been added. To activate, you need to enable the search for the best result by time with a search count of 5 or more. In this case, the result will be better in some cases.
New print marks for plotters. And the ability to create halos around marks for printing on non-white materials.
For Roland and similar plotters, the option of relative coordinates in cutting will be useful - it reduces the output file size by one and a half / two times.

It is enough to select an object, place it on the sheet as you need, and the plugin will leave it in the place where you placed it when nesting. Also multiple containers, and improved search for the best result.
The eyelet placement function has also been updated. Now you can place eyelets along complex objects, not just rectangles. Plus various methods of arranging the eyelets themselves along the objects.
