Title: Plate Alignment
Post by: cd_edwards on September 07, 2026, 04:07:54 PM

Has anyone figured out how plate alignment is supposed to work? Two points and it will twist the gcode to match the alignment marks. My confusion is that I printed out a couple of pieces on my UV printer, added some alignment marks just like I would with Lightburn's Print and Cut. I can't wrap my head around what I need todo with MachPro's Plate Alignment in this case.
How do I tell MachPro which point in the gcode I'm using?
