Cricut Engraving Placement - Temporary Jig Method

How to use the temporary jig method for precise placement (alignment or centering) of your engraving with the Cricut Maker. IMPORTANT. As of v6.10, Cricut has removed the ability to leave the mat loaded as shown in the video. Continue reading for new instructions, related links, etc.
Please call Cricut at 877 727 4288 (USA) or contact them via https://help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/requests/new to let them know the ability to keep the mat loaded, as in versions 6.5-6.10, is important to you.
The current workaround to keep the mat loaded as of version 7.3.95:
Please note that in order to keep the mat loaded on a computer, you must be using a USB connection.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to save your file before clicking Make it
-Once a layer is completed and you see the large check mark in the center of the screen, unplug the USB cable connecting your computer to your Cricut from either end.
-Click on Cancel in the lower right and then Yes at the top. That will bring you back to the Make screen.
-Click on Cancel at lower right again to go back to the Design Space Canvas.
-Click on Make It and continue to set up the next mat.
-Plug the USB cable back in when prompted to choose a machine on the Make screen and cut the next mat.
-Repeat until all mats are finished.
If you are having trouble keeping the mat loaded, the sensor jig method (linked below) is always a good option
