The desk space of Lightburn starts at -400 to the far left which makes the center of the screen zero. That wastes 50% of the screen. So I have very little space for cut, laser, console, etc windows to the right and can’t even get the whole project into the work area. How to get the zero co-ordinate to the far left? I’ve tried selecting something and dragging it to the right but that did nothing. Is this a resolution setting?
Can you show a screenshot of what you mean? I don’t understand. The coordinate system of LightBurn has nothing to do with the available workspace. You can work at any location in the workspace, even outside the helper grid. Doesn’t matter. If you don’t like negative coordinates, set the origin to bottom-left, but this should be the same as your laser uses.
I’m trying to get more workspace, half of the screen is unusable. I don’t see how to add a picture.
Try using the arrow/cross tool - not sure of the proper name but it’s the 11th one along on your top toolbar. You should be able to drag the view around. Alternatively you can zoom out with the scroll wheel, and then zoom in again - it will zoom to where your mouse pointer is so obviously play around with positioning so you get the view you want.
The Pan / Drag / Zoom doc may be helpful:
The top of that page shows the entire Main Toolbar and links from the icons to the descriptions.
Steve, the arrow cross did just exactly what I needed, thank you kindly.
