Material Test Generator: Resize or Relocate?

  1. Is it possible to resize the “Material Test Generator” image so that it fits the material I am using, e.g. a 108 x 108 mm tile?

  2. Is it possible to move the location of where the Material Test Generator image will burn on my bed?

My laser cutter is in a different room than my computer. It would be nice if the image-pattern to be used by Material Test Generator could show on the Lightburn editing grid (although maybe it already can and I just don’t know how to do it).

There are options to change…
… the sizes of each test block so they are smaller
… the number of columns and/or rows so they take up less room
… the font attributes of the lettering, though I don’t recall if the font size is an option (I new to the software)

I found this video helpful for my learning. It will guide you to the screens of settings and some of the basic options: https://youtu.be/pTx0RG_4Wbs?si=3f8HmVgz6jLW6mf7

The size of the matrix is determined by the number of cells (rows and columns) and the size of each cell. The title and row and column keys are fixed size I believe.

Regarding placement, it follows the same settings as your Laser setup. You can use Absolute Coords or Current Position and, I think, the job position to control Where the matrix is exposed.
