Thelaser module in vectric is quite decent for engraves in my opinion, i just find the lack of z control when using that irritating. And maybe it is there and im overlooking it. It just drives me nuts to not have a feature i liked be implemented with their main laser control scheme. I have 11.0 I think? And Lightburn is still faster with my settings, particularly when an image has lots of white space.
The preview option in lightburn is invaluable. It is way better than the preview in vectric where lasers are concerned. For a laser heavy project it may well be a deciding factor. Its hard to fix screw ups on laser projects. Both have good image modification, although i prefer doctoring vectors in vectric, lightburn might actually do a slightly better job tracing images, especially where there are lots of gradients. Lightburn also has many more options for output types and five zillion methods of dithering and rastering and what not.

after perfect working for 45 min i heard windows resetting USB connection and lightburn quit and moved laser head to 0.0 home killing a 90 min job after 45 min. the PC screen saver started and i do not know if that is the culprit.
How do i make sure nothing like this will ever happen again?
How can i force lightburn to keep USB connection uninterrupted for as long as it is running?
my PC did nothing but streaming gcode to K40/Smoothie.
