Red laser preview - Galvo Laser

LightBurn Software Questions

Hi All,
I recently lost my main hard drive and had to rebuild Windows. So, in that process I decided it would be a good time to make the jump to LightBurn 2.0.
Under the “old system” when I laid out text or graphics and then hit Start the red preview laser would outline the actual text or graphics on the work area which was super helpful.
After this rebuild all I can get the laser to do is square boxes. I’ve tried every toggle switch setting on the “Start” screen “frame individually”, “Image bounds” and nothing seems to produce the outlined text preview on the red laser. I’ve searched the forums and YouTube videos but haven’t found the answer yet. Thank you for any information you can provide.

LightBurn 2.0.02
Laser: Cloudray 50W Fiber laser - galvo

Thank you,
Jay

Try “Contour” and turn off “Outside Shapes Only” Maybe that will get you fixed up.
