We are excited to announce the latest update of xTool Creative Space V1.3, packed with amazing new features and optimizations to improve your laser engraving experience. Here's the complete release notes:

1. [New Function]

Input text and allow AI to generate an array of images autonomously.

Layer Function

Add a precise DXF file parsing switch to the setting interface.

Save, import, and export customized parameter settings.

2. [Improvement]

Intelligent Processing Path Algorithm: The machine will first engrave, then cut, automatically choosing the shortest path for engraving and prioritizing internal objects during cutting.

Optimized the User Interface of the Parameter Panel.

D1, D1 Pro, and M1 users can use the Framing function within the device panel on the edit page.

The preview image is generated based on the G-code to show the effect of different parameters. Support zoom in / out, and allows preview without connecting devices.

3. [Solved Issues]

Fixed the issue of line distortion when importing DXF files.

Solved the problem of missing graphics on the preview page when importing svg files.

New Features Overview

Layer Function

After importing multi-color vector files into XCS, the software automatically detects color variation and generates layers accordingly.
Users have the flexibility to change the layer assignments of elements within an image.
By selecting a particular layer, all objects within that layer can be selected at once.

*Please note that due to the addition of layers in XCS V1.3, vector graphics set to cut will not automatically turn purple; similarly, graphics set to engrave and score will not automatically turn orange.

AI-Generated Drawing

Input text and allow AI to generate an array of images autonomously.
Each AI-generated image will consume 5 xTool Points, and you can always earn more by posting your makings on xTool Community.

Save, Import, and Export Custom Parameters

Users can now save up to 30 sets of parameter schemes for each processing mode.

Support for the export and import of custom parameter files.

Precise DXF File Parsing

When this switch is activated, the software will employ the DXF parsing algorithm to fix DXF drawing parsing errors (i.e., missing lines, line distortion). When the switch is deactivated, the software reverts to the older algorithm from version 1.2.
Upon toggling the switch on or off, it will come into effect when importing the subsequent DXF file (without necessitating a software restart).
Please be aware that the new algorithm will consume more memory and may lead to longer response times for the software. Therefore, we advise against activating it unless your DXF file contains errors.

Improvements

Intelligent Processing Path Algorithm: The machine will first engrave, then cut, automatically choosing the shortest path for engraving and prioritizing internal objects during cutting.
Framing Function Updated: F1, D1, D1 Pro, and M1 users can now use the Framing function within the device panel on the edit page.

G-Code Preview Function: The preview image is now generated based on the G-code to show the effect of different parameters. Users can zoom in or out on the image and preview without connecting devices.
Parameter Panel UI Optimization:
The parameter panel has been upgraded to a pop-up format to allow more space for the canvas. Upon selecting an object in the Canvas, the parameter panel will automatically appear on the right.
If multiple objects are selected and their processing parameters differ, a "multiple values" note will be displayed. In this condition, if you set a new value, all selected objects will adopt this new value.

Solved Issues

Fixed the issue of line distortion when importing DXF files.
Solved the problem of missing graphics on the preview page when importing certain SVG files.
