Currently this is an easy-as WordPress Plugin but it can translate to other systems – contact us to discuss your specific setup requirements.

This App provides an actual tool for people at the start of the laser/water cutting pipeline then acts as a sales lead generator.

More features are being added as I develop the App.

Yes – there is an Admin area where you can change various settings and adjust how messages are sent from the App to your email

• Sheet sizes — Preset sheets (600×600, 1250×2500, 1520x3600mm) or enter any custom size from 50mm to the maximum sheet dimensions.
• Corner mounting holes — Optional, with adjustable diameter and edge offset. Exported to DXF as smooth polylines on the cut layer.
• Shapes — Circles, rectangles, triangles, and rings. Each can be dragged, resized via 8-point handles, rotated via a dedicated handle, and fine-tuned with exact numeric values in the properties panel.
• Custom path drawing — Click-to-click path tool with automatic node snapping to close loops. Enter exact length and angle values for precision segments.
• Explode and edit — Break any shape (including parametric shapes like circles) into individual editable line segments. Click any segment to remove it. Full undo support throughout.
• Two cut/engrave layers — `0_CUT_PATH` (red) and `1_ENGRAVE_LINE` (blue), matching the naming convention used by most laser and waterjet job software. Assign any shape to either layer from the properties panel.
• Background image — Upload a JPG or PNG reference image (concept sketch, logo, template). Adjust opacity with a slider, drag to reposition, Alt+Scroll to resize, Shift+Alt+Scroll to rotate in 5-degree increments. The background image is for visual tracing only — it is never included in the DXF export.
• Grid and snap — Adjustable grid size (5–200mm, step 5). Toggle grid visibility and snap-to-grid independently. Minor grid lines at 10mm intervals for fine reference.
• Measure tool — Click-to-click distance and angle measurement with a persistent on-screen overlay. Snaps to shape endpoints (path vertices, rectangle and triangle corners) and grid intersections for precision measurement. Green indicator appears when snapping to an endpoint.
• Zoom, pan and fit — Scroll-wheel zoom (centred on cursor), middle-click or Space+drag to pan, Fit-to-View button to reset. All rendering is retina/HiDPI aware.
• Undo / Redo — 60-level undo/redo stack. Keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z, plus toolbar buttons.
• Arrow-key nudge — Move selected shapes by the current grid size, or hold Shift for 1mm precision nudging.
• PNG export — Capture the current canvas view (including background image, shapes, grid, and mounting holes) as a high-DPI PNG file.
• DXF export — Generates a complete DXF R2000 (AC1015) ASCII file with proper HEADER, TABLES, BLOCKS and ENTITIES sections, real entity handles, and a correct layer table. All geometry is exported as continuous LWPOLYLINE with exact shared endpoints — no gaps. Circles and rings are exported as high-segment polylines for guaranteed smooth curves. Opens cleanly in AutoCAD, LibreCAD, Fusion 360, Adobe Illustrator and common laser-cutter software (e.g. LightBurn).

= Quote Request Pipeline =

• Customisable button text — The quote button label is configurable from the admin settings page (defaults to “Request Fabrication Quote”).
• Contact form — Name (required), email (required), phone, and notes fields. The design’s material, cutting process, sheet size, and mounting hole specifications are included automatically.
• Concept image uploads — Up to 3 JPG/PNG images (5MB per file, 8MB total) can be attached to illustrate the desired design. Server-side MIME type validation. Images are attached to the quote email alongside the DXF file.
• Email delivery — The DXF file and any concept images are emailed as attachments to the configured company email address. The visitor’s email is set as the Reply-To address. All temporary files are deleted from the server after sending.
• SMTP support — Optional custom SMTP configuration (host, port, encryption, authentication) for hosts that block default PHP mail.

= Admin Settings =

All settings are at Settings > CAD Designer in the WordPress admin:

• Company name, email, phone, and tagline
• Quote button text (leave blank for default)
• Lead-generation message displayed below the designer sidebar
• Enable/disable the quote request form
• Custom SMTP server configuration

= Privacy =

• All drawing happens in the visitor’s browser. Nothing is transmitted unless the quote form is submitted.
• Quote submissions are emailed and immediately deleted from the server — no database storage.
• The optional update checker (see Updating section) sends a single anonymous GET request to a public JSON file. No user data, site data, or analytics are transmitted.
