Okay,… I have to check that at home. I’m using version 2.0.05 which I believe already works the same way. However, considering that I used the wizard, it’s possible that it doesn’t.
I’ll have to check more carefully. 
Yesterday, at home and at the end of the day, I went to check if version 2.0 already had the same options you showed. I just couldn’t find the image of the targets with the tags (I suspect they only appear during the calibration process, which I haven’t yet performed as suggested).
Before updating the post, I searched and found here that this camera calibration system started precisely in version 2.0, which I will test, probably next weekend.
Update.
Today I took the time to take advantage of the camera and do some effectiveness tests. Also, regarding the drill support I’m currently working on, I noticed two anomalous situations.
- 1st When I did “Update Overlay” I noticed that the image doesn’t cover the entire usable work area. It stayed like that and I didn’t notice (apparently I wasn’t the only one
)
I did a new camera and lens alignment using the “april tags” by right-clicking in the “Camera control” window.
The camera alignment was done in the previous way (only through the “crosshairs”).
Bernd do you know if this is only available for Mac or for Windows too? 
How can this be corrected?
It’s certainly the same problem described in this topic.
- 2nd Misalignment.
I started by doing an “Update Overlay” in the “Camera Control” window, drawing an 18mm circle and engraving it onto a leftover piece of material.
I moved the leftover piece with the engraved cross to a location further to the side of the workbench, did another “Update Overlay,” drew an 18mm cross, centered it on the circle visible in the overlay image, and sent it to engrave.
The result is seen in the image; a deviation on the X-axis of +10mm (to the right) and +4mm (upwards) on the Y-axis. Very approximate values based on the image grid that don’t deviate much from the real value.
How can I correct this alignment discrepancy? I’ve been searching and either I don’t know how to search or I haven’t found anything enlightening.
If everything went perfectly the first time, it wouldn’t be fun!
I’m pretty sure that applies to both OS, Win and Mac.
Unfortunately I can’t test it because the wife didn’t think it was smart
for me to take my laser with me on our vacation trip in the RV…women…
Honestly, I think that LB’s camera setup procedure is not good enough yet, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many users who have problems with it. However, I haven’t been able to test the last RC, here again there are some (cosmetic?) changes.
I can only say how I (after all) get good results. If the result despite perfect values in alignment still doesn’t give the desired end result, I don’t wonder (anymore) and remain calm - and start over - until I have a deviation of less than 0.5mm, preferably less than 0.2-0.3mm in a similar test as you show. The strange thing is that it can be done 
For me, a complete alignment can vary from fifteen minutes to over 2 hours and believe me, I have done many alignments…
Don’t give up, the right result is worth it.

I’m also sure she doesn’t have access to the forum. 
She did very well!
I will continue to wait for other opinions from those who have more knowledge than me or who have already solved similar situations.
Eventually, the alignment will be done through the “Shift” fields in the “Adjust” tab of the “Camera Control” window.
I noticed that the overlay image on the desktop changes position according to the values entered, but I need to understand better how it works.
I hope someone else has the knowledge to give guidance, but I hope even more that you have a good vacation!

That’s what they’re designed for, but when the values go above 0.5mm I start over from the beginning. Sounds a bit harsh, but this is the way I feel best.
Thank you for your holiday wishes for us.
I will give it a try. Maybe using only the number of samples (captures) needed to procede the wizard. (usually I make some more).
If there is any misalignment changes, then I try the X and Y shift.
