Kerf Offset is not working

[foama (Al)]

Im running a business and suddenly all setting has been changed, the machine orientation to all details about kerf offset and etc.
Now Im not able to use Kerf Offset anymore, it doesnt matter if its a inward or outward, it doesnt take the command.
Any suggestions?

Which settings, those in LightBurn or the Ruida controller itself? Did you make these changes, or are you saying they randomly changed? Are you saying you do not see where that setting is?

Did you update LightBurn? You can roll back to an older version (← click) that worked for you previously.

Take a look at this post I made a few days ago. Run the same type test and let us know, showing what results you get, and we can go from there.

Understanding Kerf Correctly

I have set a square, 50 x 50 with a circle, 25 x 25 placed inside and in the center. Put that on the blue layer set to ‘Line’. Select both and hit Duplicate, and put the duplicate on red layer, also set to ‘Line’ but has a kerf and perforation to see it easier when in ‘Preview’. All shapes are exactly the same sitting atop each other, but notice how the perforation shapes have the kerf applied. The inside shape has kerf offset in the opposite direction from the outer square shape. You can test …
