Feature Requests / Re: Print to Cut functionality & Mach3 on router

Obviously I am missing something ‘big-time’ here but I fail to understand the complication with cutting a linearly distorted graphic.
Picture1 – Graphic as produced in CAD, complete with registration markers.
Picture 2 – Cut tool-path produced in CAM (from the original artwork) as shown in Mach3.
Picture 3 – Graphic as printed (with exaggerated linear distortion and skew).
Picture 4 – Original Mach3 cut tool-path corrected for distortion and skew (Scale & Rotation) using camera location of the 3 markers and a basic bit of high school trig.
Perhaps someone could explain…
