My first two modules (gameboxes, ugh) were made using ZT's TopLeft-BottomRight-Rows-Columns method for defining countersheet sections.
I had to finagle with the edges to get the "best" divisions between counters as the program did the math to cut them out. It was never very precise, but usually came in close enough to be lived with.
Different punch sections meant extra work.
In the end, I find it easier to use a script to calculate each counter individually, outputting the XML from that. Then each counter can be specifically set to "cut" on whatever pixel boundary is needed for the best cut. And counter sheets tend to be devilishly consistent, so as scripts go it's pretty darned simple, giving automation, convenience, and accuracy, with the ability to customize down to the counter level when needed.
I'm curious whether any of the other authors have gone to this method.
