Here is my photos of the 'Xtool printing outside the framing. It only does this on the Lightburn software. It does NOT do this on the Laserbox Basic. I must have to click on something to make it work. I have no idea what to do next to fix this problem I am having on LightBurn and my XTOOL 10 watt laser.
You mentioned above to run these

In console. I know where to find console but I have never entered anything there before. Do I copy and past this into the console are and delete what is already there?
Your device settings are not “standard” for the D1. You have 2 options. Either create a new device by loading that file I linked earlier. Or you can change all your settings until it matches these exactly.
This should resolve the issue you’re having with the crosshairs not lining up to framing.
Hold off on entering Console commands as I don’t think that’s the problem. I’ll document it here for future reference.
Copy-paste one command at a time into the highlighted area and press enter. The results will come in the white area above. Copy that text into a reply.
Once I turned it on and ran the install it worked. I’m going to go through the device settings that you sent to Diane and see if I can get mine to match.
Okay. I’m trying to get caught up with where you are.
Looks like you’ve changed origin and moved to Absolute Coords. That’s good. I suggest you leave it on Absolute Coords until you’re very familiar with how your laser works.
Always start your machine with the laser head at top left and you should be able to reference your laser bed just as it looks in the workspace.
Can you describe in detail what’s not working as expected? What did you do? What did you expect it to do? What did it do instead?
Take a look at the most recent image files. The burn was not in the center of the frame. I even ran the frame command before and the laser traced the card perfectly but the burn was definitely not center.
That was an unsatisfactory question. I understand how to use absolute position to get the laser exact. I guess what I’m asking is how do I determine the off set or get the crosshairs to help me figure out how to frame my me work area?
I didn’t mean your question was unsatisfactorry…by the way…i meant my question was unsatisfactory…hope there wasn’t any confusion. I didn’t frame my question properly.
The Device Settings configuration of laser offset of X-16 mm should have addressed it.
Try one thing.
Burn a square using “Cut selected graphics”. Leave the material as-is.
With no changes to the design or settings now do a frame operation.
Does the crosshair follow the burn marks exactly?
If not, try to identify why? Is there something mechanically wrong? If not, it could just be a discrepancy from the factory. Just adjust the offset amount in Device Settings to accommodate for any difference in crosshair marks vs actual burn location.
