I'm working on making GSD files for the top secret Armor Grid Terrain models (shhh! -it's a secret!) and I was wondering if anyone had any tricks for lining up the registration marks in the print with the registration marks in the GSD file. So far, my test cuts seems to work well but they're a millimeter to low and half a millimeter off to one side.
Could this be a calibration issue? Is there a way to calibrate a Silhouette SD cutter with the 5.3v of the CraftRobo software?
I've already tweaked my registration mark locations to better fit the cutter, but I've had to line up my registration marks in the drawing "manually" (by manually I mean with the mouse) with the GSD registration marks. Is there a way to get them to snap?

The only trick I have found is to select the entire cutting layout and adjust the X and Y axis. I import my DXF files from InkScape so I leave markers on the boarders so I can snap the whole image to a 0x0 grid and a 8.5x11 size.
If your cuts are off, just add or subtract .004 inches or so for every mm you are off. That is what I usually do to fox it. The cutter scans the registration marks on every page, so you should not need to realign them unless you have printer issues (It happened to me the other day that it double printed the reg marks. The cutter didn't know which to use).
