I’ve got a beta build of my Paper Tools project for Centroid. Anyone wanna give this a shot? I’m looking for some basic usage just to confirm the software works with your setup. Drop me a note and I’ll set you up with a free subscription.

Thanks for the help, I’m trying to get broad Centroid support going using their APIs.

Here’s an example using the camera to measure a part and pull coordinates as an SVG that you can use in Fusion or Vectric

You can download the installer here (works with Mach 4 too):

Thank you!

I’ve been getting questions about whether Paper Tools requires a subscription. Just wanted to clarify that a recurring subscription is **not** required. You can purchase 1 month or any number of months, and you don’t need to cancel anything. I also offer a recurring monthly option at a 10% discount for people who want it but it’s not required.

Trying to keep things as fair as possible, I do have some actual costs to run the software, including the AI engine, storage and servers, which is why I can’t offer a one-time perpetual license.

Right now, I’m in this for the feedback, and your help has been immensely valuable. I heard this awesome story about bubble wrap: the inventors were trying to sell it as decorative wallpaper (can you imagine?!) but they pivoted to packaging. I may not have the features quite right, so I depend on hearing all your ideas and will adapt the features to what people find useful.

Thanks again for helping out!
