Print and Cut + Frame

[dd-dkenney (Daniel Kenney)]

There was a question posted a few years ago that I found in which a comment was made that this issue would be addressed, but it doesn’t appear to be?

Print & Cut, Frame doesn't trace correctly

That is helpful information when trying to duplicate on our end. Thank you for this clarity.

When using Print & Cut and after assigning TP1 and TP2 - running Frame seems to ignore the skew/rotation/etc. assigned and frames the output square to the bed rather than the targets set.

I guess my question is, was this ever actually addressed or does Frame still ignore TP1 and TP2?

Thank you!

T1 and T2 are construction/auxiliary layers and not intended for output at all. That’s what LightBurn’s documentation says.
What confuses people is that the UI in Cuts/Layers shows something different, it’s a known “issue” and the Frame button needs to be deleted.

I was using TP1 and TP2 to reference Target Position 1 and Target Position 2 - not T1 and T2 layers - sorry for the confusion!

…that’s a completely different story, It’s past midnight here, I may not have been fully awake either.

Never thought of that way, but I guess I was doing the same. If I have a 100mmx150mm piece of Baltic, I will use T1 to illustrate the boundaries in my drawing. I will turn on the T1 Frame button when I want to verify positioning.
