xTool Studio 1.10 Adds Smart Nesting, Capture & Trace and X1 Support

xTool has released version 1.10 of xTool Studio for Windows and macOS. If you run an xTool laser, there are useful changes for layout and engraving, plus support for the newly launched X1.

Layout and editing

• Smart nesting: Auto Fill copies selected parts into empty space on the sheet. Photo nesting can capture several sheets at once and lets you mark areas to use or avoid. A beta option cuts edges shared by neighboring parts only once, which xTool says reduces scorching and saves time. It doesn’t apply to fill engraving or printed elements.
• Everyday editing: resizing several objects at once, choosing the XY origin, scaling from the center, and selecting objects differently depending on which way you drag.
• Importing: multiple files at once, HEIC photos and DXF fills.

Engraving

• Relief mode now supports 16-bit depth maps with up to 1,024 layers for finer, deeper relief.
• Passthrough is a new image mode that sends a dithered black-and-white image exactly as made, so dithering from other software isn’t reprocessed.

Machines and materials

• Capture & Trace uses the built-in camera to turn a drawing or printout into a cut outline. xTool lists it for the M2, P3, P2S and P2.
• Glass: presets for irregular glass shapes and focus compensation for large-area glass work.
• Materials: browse settings shared by other users, and save multiple presets without a machine connected.

The update also adds Atomm AI design tools, a new setup guide for first-time M2, O1 and X1 users, and printing features for xTool’s O1, C1 and apparel printers.
