If your lab is not listed in Settings -> Download Settings, please do the following (or ask your lab provider to do so):

  1. Provide a settings export file at a fixed URL. The URL should not change if the file is updated, so that we don't have to change VisiCut every time.

The file can be a .vcsettings created with "Export settings...", or simply a zip file that contains everything from the .visicut settings folder. I suggest keeping the settings in a github repository like https://github.com/fau-fablab/visicut-settings and just using the "Download ZIP" link https://github.com/fau-fablab/visicut-settings/archive/master.zip

  1. Check that downloading the file and using "Import settings..." on it works. (You may have to use "save as..." so that zip files are not automatically unzipped by your browser)

  2. Write a bugreport at https://github.com/t-oster/VisiCut/issues containing the URL and the name of your institution. If you know how to do it, a pull request similar to this one would be even better

Settings provided by (as of 13.Jan.2015): Germany, Aachen: FabLab RWTH Aachen Germany, Erlangen: FAU FabLab Netherlands, Amersfoort: FabLab United Kingdom, Manchester: Hackspace
