Engraving direction - Can't specify?!

I am praying that isn't the case, but I have been unable to find a way to control the burn direction. Imagine engraving a series of vertical lines, say 5 mm thick by 100 mm tall. The sheet is loaded in landscape mode.

  1. Wood grain affects the result.
  2. Taking just two of described vectors, running them horizontally, to align with the scanning direction, takes 42 seconds.
  3. Now, rotate them 90 degrees to align perpendicular, this same operation took 4:41 seconds!

I 100% need control of the raster angle by object, just as Lightburn supports.
