Hi at all

Thanks for the programm!

I would like to set a custom botton how shows me the middle of the image to laser. If i can show the middle of the opened project it will be easier to pose the wood. Can you help me?

Thank you.

Best Regard JPVN

It is possible to move along the engraving border, not the middle.

In future i think to add some math interpretation ( + x - / ) to allow to compute different position other than left, right, top, bottom, width, height

If you know the size of the image you are burning you can just use the lef/right/up/down and diagonal arrows to position the laser in the middle of the image on screen.

The laser will then move to the middle, then you can place your work piece under the laser and it will be over the middle. If you are doing an image say 40 x 40 just move the laser X 20 and Y 20, that should be the middle.

Click the Slider on the right of the Arrows buttons first to enable the keyboard keys to operate it. Using the Cursor keys on the keyboard moves the slider up or down 1 step at a time.

You can watch the co-ordinates at the top right of the window. When you've set the middle of the work piece under the laser click the Home button and start burning..
