Working with Dishes
When you create a new dish, this is the screen you'll see:
You'll need to add shapes by tapping +Shape and add ingredients by tapping +Ingredient, or tapping OK.
Tapping print on a dish will bring you to print preview - Foodini will not automatically start printing.

Shape Coordinates and Dimensions
Sometimes you'll want precision when lining up shapes, Foodini can provide coordinates to assist.
Select a shape, and you'll see the shape coordinates and dimensions (approximate) in the following format:
(#, #) #x#
The number measurements are in millimeters/mm.
For example, the coordinates and dimensions of the rectangle are shown as (110, 55) 50x40:
Another example, the coordinates and dimensions of the heart are shown as (98, 43) 64x61:
If you move the shape or adjust the size, you need to deselect and reselect the shape to see updated coordinates and dimensions.
