Cant move the frame or any objects

Incredibly Helpful

Used it on my first job this week where we had two 20x20 flyswatters and we were able to accurately place the bases and positioning on the tech and came out flawlessly on the day. Highly recommend and it’s just going to get better. Definitely going to be a go to tool for me.
