There are new two new experimental settings.

1. Mirror Features: Use this to mirror your design. For example you can quickly make a left and right shoe:

2. Remove base under imprint: Use this to remove the base / handle from under the imprint when making imprint cutters. The base under the imprint can add extra strength to thin imprints But if your imprint is thick, or if you are making a small cutter you may not need it. Here is a design with the imprint base on and off. Notice the imprint base is gone from the image on the right, making those holes easier to clean:

@CookiecadNathan Hi Nathan, I noticed that if you turn on Edges Only for the Imprint Cutter the new feature “Remove Base” option is not available.

At the moment, edges only doesn’t distinguish between imprint and blade so things like imprint depth and remove imprint base aren’t compatible with it.
