Starting point "Center" of non-centrical objects

[kariboo (Krzysztof)]

Hi - not very new to the software but new on the forum

I am engraving a lot of circular objects like descriptions around the circle (loudspeaker terminals description) - obviously I want them to be placed exactly at the point which I mark on the wood. As long as there is symmetrical text around the circle (so the object is symmetrical) it is not a problem - I jog the laser to the point I wish, I choose “center” as starting origin and it makes engraving right where I want it.

The problem starts, when I for example add the logo underneath that round/circle description (logo which is bigger) - then LightBurg calculates the center of the whole engraving which shifts from the center of the wheel downwards. Then obviously I cannot point the exact point on the wood, because the whole image is being shifted up.

I do not have Light burn on this PC but I attach paint picture with decription:

So basically I would like the lightburn to calculate “center” only of the cetrical objects ignoring other stuff which is not centrical.

Please help
Kris

What you’re asking for is unfortunately not possible to do, however, if you created a circle around the smaller one, and made it large enough to enclose the full design, and set it not to output, it will do what you need:

nice workaround!
