Hey… xTool designers..! Feature request!!

I need a consistent way to know BEFORE I engrave something in a circle that I am actually in the center.

Just a thought here… regardless of the laser engraver being used… make the cross hairs (on the S1 is what I’m referring to in this case) show the center of the object, AFTER I’ve done the three point measurement. If I have just one of the points not exactly on the edge, the circle that shows up in the XCS software does not matter. It’s going to be off center.

Currently there is zero way for me to see the object how the XCS software sees it outside the XCS software. I am sure that this was fixed in the newer xTool models (maybe), but the S1 is so capable, and controlled by the XCS software. It should be able to be updated on the XCS software for some type of indication of center. The route feature does not help. It’s not the fix. This is a software fix that can be handled by an update.

My only recommendation is a soft button in the software for the laser to show the center as seen by the software using the crosshairs on the material to be engraved, which is already there. Please, thank you.
