10) Casing Dimensions and CAD operations:

Centrix has many CAD tools built in. These are similar to Autocad commands.

The Casing Cutting Profile is intended for use with Plasma or Laser cutters. These machines usually have nesting software that can import Autocad dwg or dxf files. The cutting profile can be saved for use by such software.
Note that there is a menu item called 'Profile Only' which, when clicked will remove dimensions, borders and text.
