freehand tool not very useful for laser cuts.

Thanks for sharing this, Maxim.
Something I didn't yet investigated.
Draw freehand .. Double click to select all connected ..
Polyline from Selection .. Round al polyline corners (custom script)
Polylines rounded at corners cut smoother with a laser because of the continuous motion.

I use control and fitpoint splines to draw over artistic stuff.
But my CNC doesn't understand splines.
Exploded to bulging polylines is an answer.
Until I need offset shapes of those polylines ... e.g. toolpaths.
