Sketch the visible panel first

When preparing a cylindrical engraving design, identify the viewing side, the reading direction, and the place where artwork should stop before treating the file as ready. AntBelt supports cylindrical engraving; this planning method does not assume final accessory specifications, object dimensions, or a guaranteed result.

Let the seam guide the artwork

Keep a seam or wrap boundary on the proof so the review focuses on what will be visible first. If the layout becomes uncertain, return to the artwork rather than filling the space with extra detail. Browse /updates/ for more evidence-aware design planning.
