=== '''Rotary Tool''' ===
The Rotary Tool lets you engrave cylindrical objects, the most popular of these being Hydroflasks. This part applies after you have already sent the file from CoreLDRAW to the Laser Cutter.
To start off, go to Settings → Options → Hardware → Accessories. This is where you can switch from the HoneyComb Table to the Rotary Tool and vice versa. Enter the diameter of your thing (using the Calipers in the lab), as it tells the Rotary Tool how fast to turn as it engraves. Do not mess this up, or you will have a stretched/squeezed image.

So when you apply it, it will look like this below. The cursor will come up when it is connected, and then just slide your design to that cursor. It automatically flips the image for you so that it will look like the hydroflask in the examples (portrait), so don’t worry about rotating the image.

Next, pick the material Hydroflask → Black Mug, and now you are ready to engrave your thing!
