This is from the user guide which may be clearer:
The laser enable HAL pin (qtplasmac.laser_on) will be enabled during the framing moves and any X/Y offsets for the laser pointer in the <machine_name>.ini file will also be applied to the X/Y motion.

The laser pointer will show exactly where the cut will occur on the material. I think the thought here is that seeing the laser pointer on the material is easier to comprehend and validate than just the torch moving around the part.
Is that not good enough?
I think you are saying you want to visualize the cut with the torch rather than the laser?

Oh, well check it out for sure and report back and we can take it from there.I think I have a bad review because when my origin already said x = 25 and y = -15 which are the offset values but when I use frame x = -25 and y = 15 they change their sign, I don't know why.
no apology necessary! just want to make sure we dont miscommunicateAnd sorry for my english

x = 25 y = -15
(they are already configured in the .ini file).
The first image shows the coordinates after having pressed the laser button, marked the axis and marked the new origin, right at the point where my torch is located.
x = 25 y = -15
The second image shows the coordinates after using the Framing button, it is seen that the new coordinates are:
x = -25 y = 15
(x = -x and -y = y, they change sign, and I think that here you should go to x = 0 and y = 0 and make the frame from this point since when you press CYCLE START the torch goes to this point x = 0 and = 0).

Well this is what is happening: the x and y offsets from my laser to the torch are:
x = 25 y = -15
(they are already configured in the .ini file).
The first image shows the coordinates after having pressed the laser button, marked the axis and marked the new origin, right at the point where my torch is located.
x = 25 y = -15
The second image shows the coordinates after using the Framing button, it is seen that the new coordinates are:
x = -25 y = 15
(x = -x and -y = y, they change sign, and I think that here you should go to x = 0 and y = 0 and make the frame from this point since when you press CYCLE START the torch goes to this point x = 0 and = 0).
This all looks correct to me.
I think you are confused because the framing moves are shown on the plotter with relation to the torch, so they look offset. The whole thing needs to be offset -25 in X and 15 in Y because that's where the laser is. The finish point of X-25Y15 is correct, because that is the coordinate when the laser is over top of the zero point that you set earlier.
I think it might make sense to you if you cut the part out, and then run a framing move to prove to yourself that the laser makes a box around the part that was just cut out.
