Update Overlay Problem

I have installed an overhead camera on my laser setup but I’m having some issues getting the overlay to appear on my Lighburn workspace.
I have been through the lens calibration and alignment procedures with no problems, ending up with a good looking overay which I have saved, but then what? The update overlay button is greyed out so I can’t do anything more. What am I missing? Can anyone help?

Hi Geoff,

In the Cameras Window, do you also see the alignment icon in red here like this?

If so, click on the red alignment icon (which is also a button), and redo the alignment. There is a known issue with alignments sometimes not being saved correctly in v2.1.02, and starting the alignment wizard from this tool button can make a difference.

Another thing that can disable the Update Overlay button would be this little “global overlay visibility” button that may be deactivated (red) - click it again to activate:

Thank you. I’ll give it a try and report back.

Thank you for your advice NicholasL. I redid the calibration and alignment as you suggested and it worked out for me. Cheers
