Minimum and recommended PC requirements

Use XCS on the computer

Notes:

1. With the minimum configurations, all the functions of XCS can be used properly. When you import or edit a complex image, however, XCS may fail to run smoothly.
2. With configurations lower than the minimum requirements, the functions of XCS may run properly, but lagging or system crash is more likely to occur, causing poor experience. Technical support may not help.
3. With the recommended configurations, XCS can run more smoothly when you import and edit a complex image, the software delay may be shorter, and the performance is better. But for very complex images, lagging may still occur.
4. When you run XCS on a laptop, you are advised to connect it to a power supply and turn off the energy-saving mode.
5. XCS does not support Linux operating systems or ChromeOS.
6. XCS does not support computers powered by Snapdragon X series.

Use XCS on the iPad

Use XCS on the mobile phone

Download and install XCS

Click Yes when you are asked "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" and then continue the installation as prompted.

Connect a device

Note:
Whichever way you want to connect your device to the XCS client on your computer, you need to connect it to your computer with the USB cable for the first time.
After you connect your device to XCS in Wi-Fi or IP mode, you can search for your device on XCS next time without USB connection.

Example project: Score a star on a 3 mm basswood board

You can use XCS to operate your xTool device to engrave or cut a material. The following is an example in which xTool D1 Pro is used. The steps for other xTool devices are similar. If you use another xTool device, you can complete material processing by referring to the following steps.

1. Insert the star shape on the canvas.

2. Select the Process on flat surface processing mode on the right setting panel. 

The processing modes provided vary according to device. You need to select a processing mode based on your device and material.

3. Place a basswood plywood on a flat surface.

4. Select the material. In this example, a 3 mm basswood plywood is to be processed.

• For the materials listed, a recommended processing setting is provided, and you don't need to set the processing parameters.
• If you can't find your material from the list, you can go to Material EasySet Library to search for it. If you can't find it there, you can select User-defined material, set the parameters yourself, and store the settings as a template.

To ensure the best processing results, you can choose Applications > Material test array to test processing settings for your material.

5. Select the object to edit it.

For details about how to edit objects, including texts, bitmap images, and vectors, see XCS Editor Function Overview (V2.1).

6. Select the object to set processing parameters for it.

(1) Set the processing type. In this example, I want to engrave the outline of the star. Select Score.

(2) Set the processing parameters. Based on the material set, a recommended setting is provided. You can use it, or you can click the settings for modification.

6.  Set framing parameters and click Framing to mark the processing area and perform framing to check whether the object will be processed in the expected area on the material.

Note: For xTool devices with cameras, you may just move the object to the position where you want it to be processed.

7. After setting the parameters, click Go to process to open the preview page.

On the Preview page, you can see the estimated processing time and click the Play button to watch the whole process.

8. Click Start.

9. Press the button on the device as prompted to start the processing, and wait for the processing to complete.

This is what you get.
