You can copy paste the one you like?
But you can’t flip it. I want to be able to cut them and flip them to engrave the back. That means cutting one facing each direction. Currently the only way to do it is to manually carve out the opening without moving the material in the GF, so you can flip them into each other’s openings and engrave the back. I may or may not have bled into my GF a little, a time or two.

Can’t you cut a square around them, flip them to engrave the back and then cut out the asymmetrical shape?

Ditto this. Just make sure you have the engraving flipped correctly around the vertical centerline of the rectangle.
(Did it with the carousel horses…a more un-uniform shape would be hard to come up with.)

Without being able to export them from the GFUI, how would I get them exactly aligned to each other and equidistant from the centerline? It doesn’t offer any tools for either of those things.
I’ve calibrated my placement to be spot on - 1 click k of the arrows right & 2 down places things exactly where I want.
That means I can put crosshairs or other alignment marks on the masking of my material. The rulers on the top/edges of the GFUI take care of scaling generally.

Does that work near the corners? I.e. do you have near perfect fisheye correct bu with an overall constant offset?
Do rectangular sheets look rectangular in your machine?
You would only have to have a square set up once by dragging it into the feather file and getting it correct in the center. After that you could drag it anywhere as long as you kept them together

The feathers are something I use for using up scraps, so I can’t always keep them together, or in their same orientation, or in the same place on the screen.
Lol you must go through a lot of earrings. What do you do with them!?
I dunno, they keep finding homes. I’ve got several sets with different colors of accent beads, and have given a bunch to friends and coworkers, some as earrings and some as requests for other things. Our yoga instructor/masseuse wanted some to hang on her beaded necklaces.
Also if I cut nice things out of scraps I don’t have to feel guilty about hanging on to the scraps. And the feathers are one of my favorite things. I need to get back to the Inkscape file where I’ve been working on a replacement, so I can have my own symmetrical one to use!
I’ve had the grandkids since Friday, so no lasering is happening right now. When I pick up my computer I end up with a toddler in my lap and an 8yo wanting me to play Minecraft with her.
