New Guy Set up Onyx to make cut registration dots?

New guy here. thanks for your knowledge, I have been looking thru the forum and learning a lot.

Onyx Thrive 19 to Multicam Router using enRoute.

is there a way to set up Onyx to auto generate registration cut dots? I have googled and googled and I have used a bit of chat gpt and google ai and I am missing something I think. I am thinking I may need an add-on for Onyx to allow Onyx to make those cut dots and save a cut file for enRoute to run on our Multicam. But I also feel like that add-on may be for running the Multicam straight from the Onyx rip. that is not what we need.

Our goal is to set up hot folders for our different substrates for our HP flatbed, and for Onyx to then create the print file with the needed dots, save the cut file to a designated cutter folder on the server, then be able to open those cut files in our enRoute software to cut on the Multicam.

that all make sense? bare with me as this is a bit of a new issue that has been asked of me to figure out...and it would be a great time saver for the shop and the design room alike! thanks!

Yeah you select the cutter and you get your file, pretty simple at the end.
You need flatbed cutter on your license tho.
I have the Multicam as a cutter I can add in Onyx, but there are no settings anywhere that I can select the dots, spacing, etc, which it sounds like I should be able to do. So I do need that Flatbed Cutting Option Add-on then? It kinda sounded like that was only if you wanted to run the router directly from Onyx, but is that not the case? you need that add-on to also be able to add the cutter to Onyx, too? trying to figure out if we need to buy the $1800 add on. was hoping not.
