Hi,
I was looking for something like a material height option/multiple camera alignment presets without having to import/export
I stumbled on this - Camera Alignment with Different thickness materials
The lead dev replies saying
You can right-click and just import from one of a set of different alignment files. Yes, I could add a drop down to let you choose between them.
Was this ever added/is it hidden somewhere?
I may have a solution for you. My CNC material height varies by as much as 80mm, I have both a variable height bed and powered Z axis, both can be in play when material height changes.
@LightBurn describes the optics very well in the link you reference. The online documentation is very good on this topic also. Given those references, I made sure to mount my camera directly above the center of my CNC work area. This gives me a center point alignment reference (of both camera image and table) that is independent of scale factor (the Width and Height controls in the Camera window). Thus when my material height changes, I use a substitute “alignment card” referenced at center of table to adjust the image scale, after sometimes nudging the X-shift Y-shift values to ensure the center points are aligned.
The technique is described in more detail here - Good manual zoom 10x 8MP camera for large CNC tables
Hi,
Thanks, my camera is fixed dead center on the enclosure
I’ve just read through most of that and have been able to recreate something repeatable
@LightBurn would still be great to get a drop down to save height profiles in the camera window, though because that would be so much quicker
Creality’s new software has that option and it is so useful (shame the rest of the program is useless)
Yes, I fully agree. I also noticed that feature in the new Creality software. That’s a really nice feature and one of the few use cases I switch to Design Space sometimes 
Even better than a dropdown menu to manually switch between (previously generated and saved) alignments for different materials heights would be to have the correct alignment autoload based on what value the user puts in the material height field.
This is what creality design space does, again brilliant idea, just horrifically buggy implementation
