How to Resolve the “Cut May Exceed Boundaries” Warning

The “Cut may exceed boundaries” warning usually occurs for the following two reasons:

1. Pattern Position Exceeds Engraving Area

If the pattern is positioned outside the engraving area, adjust its location on the canvas to ensure it is fully within the workspace.

LightBurn:

Change the XPos and YPos parameters in the top menu bar.

LaserBurn:

Adjust the X and Y parameters under Position in the top menu bar.

2. Pattern Size Exceeds Engraving Area

If the pattern’s size exceeds the engraving area, resize the pattern so that it fully fits within the workspace.

LightBurn:

Adjust the Width and Height parameters in the top menu bar.

LaserBurn:

Modify the W and H parameters under Size in the top menu bar.
