You can now add, remove, load, and save different scratch spaces, as well as papergroups, so you don't have to recreate them whenever you start Laidout.
-
Net impositions have been completely reprogrammed, to allow more adaptible import of 3-d models. You can specify an OFF file to use as the basis for unwrapping, for instance.
-
