Manually setting a software origin

@DaveP1 While you’ve gotten some tips I don’t think anyone has tried to answer your concern directly. Frankly, I think this is a bug and related to an issue I brought up in a different topic where the framing functionality references even layers where output set turned off.

Putting here for reference:
Frame Preview behavior not what I would expect for grouped objects with mixed layers - LightBurn Software - LightBurn Software Forum

I suspect there’s a set of features that don’t take Output on/off state into consideration.

While there may be some changes to your workflow that could make your life easier, here are 2 possible solutions for the way you’re trying to do this:

  1. Could you select the tool frame and then enable “Use selection Origin”? This should allow you to position the job origin within the tool frame itself.
  2. Alternative you could define a custom user origin on the tool path and then switch Start From as User Origin and set your job origin from there.
