Orientation points are used to calculate transformation (offset,scale,mirror,rotation in XY plane) of the path.
3-points mode only: do not put all three into one line (use 2-points mode instead).
You can modify Z surface, Z depth values later using text tool (3rd coordinates).
If there are no orientation points inside current layer they are taken from the upper layer.
Do not ungroup orientation points! You can select them using double click to enter the group or by Ctrl+Click.
Now press apply to create control points (independent set for each layer).

Gcodetools plug-in: converts paths to Gcode (using circular interpolation), makes offset paths and engraves sharp corners using cone cutters.
This plug-in calculates Gcode for paths using circular interpolation or linear motion when needed.
