I use the Xtool D1 Pro, 20 watt. I have set the laser to use red crosshairs withing the Xtool software. In Lightburn, I understand that I have to turn on “Enable Pointer Offset”, with a setting of X: -16mm.

The offset isn’t changing the position at all. It doesn’t burn, where it frames (if that makes sense). If I use the laser pointer, it frames perfectly, and I know I could just use that, but I want to use the red crosshairs. It’s nothing to do with the file, it does this on any file I’ve tried.

Someone in the Xtool Facebook Group had the same issue, after he upgraded to the most recent version (which is what I have)

Is this a known issue? Or am I missing something?

Cheers!
