Hi, I did a trace image, which ended up multiple closed areas. Running the Edit Node function and selecting the nodes to remove or modify, everything works correct. I then selected the Group Selection tool to group the selection as the selection was preferred at that time, all working correct at this point. I then used the Selection tool so as to get the rotation handles visible, but then my machine origin became part of the selection size, moving the object keeps the selection anchored on the machine origin, thus acting like a rubber band. To deselect the item and re-selecting does not help. I had to move to an open area, Ungroup Selection, select again and Group Selection again. This was on the 32 bit Windows 7 machine, have not tried on the 64 bit yet.
Thank you, still remains the best Laser software to date.
I don’t know if I understood the problem correctly, but from what I understand it seems to me that there will be an object that is not shown.
In the “Cuts/Layers” window is there no layer hidden?
In the image below there are two objects. What is selected has been hidden…

These pictures are numbered according to each event. As you can see, the image anchored on the origin and I have to ungroup and select again to have the image grouped again.
My English is not as fluent as I would like so I can help and for that I apologize.
However, I highly doubt that it has anything to do with the operating system version (32 or 64 bit).
I believe that there is something either in the definitions or in some property that is causing the machine’s origin point to be grouped with the object. (which I believe is the problem)
So I can understand better, can you confirm if your problem is: Is the object grouped to the machine’s point of origin?
If you’re willing, please share the file here to analyse and check if the problem persists on another computer?
I’m using an older version of Lightburn, is there a bug in that version?
The green dot (job origin) obviously follows the image no matter how many movements I make to it.
The red dot (machine origin) was never part of the image.
What happened to me in one of the experiments was that part of the object was left “forgotten” behind and obviously the selection became much larger when moving the rest of the object.
By chance, no part of the object is in the same place as machine origin, right?
I have seen this as well but having a hard time duplicating it on command. It happens for me when I’m doing a lot of node editing after a trace. It’ll complain about not having closed shapes on a fill layer and when you tell it to highlight it actually highlights the origin with the rotation arrows but there is nothing visible.
I just haven’t gone through steps to replicate reliably every time.
