Around 17:00 in when you discuss cut by layer order, what did you have to press on the keyboard to select individual lines/shapes out of the entire pattern to move them to separate layers? Is this a vector file or something? Can you do something similar with imported SVGs?

Hello. What is your suggestion if a person wants to add "nodes" to an image?please refer to 9.10 - node editing. I see that you can manipulate nodes, but what if I wanted to create additional nodes or remove existing nodes? Thank you.

At the very end of this video, you clicked on the outside edge of the circle, then clicked something to make that on a new layer, what id you hit hot key wise or click to put that circle shape on a new or separate layer? Other wise, I am with you sir. Thank you for helping us who are totally new to laser software. I hope you have a blessed week and are staying healthy and safe. Dale

Unfortunately, when I did find the relevant section, I could really use a lot more coverage of the subject. I don't understand what some of the operations do and I would like to be able to adjust a node by typing numbers (i.e. XY coordinates) so that I could make small and precise adjustments that I can't do reliably with a mouse. Great program. Thanks.

Is there a difference from using File Open vs File Import?
@jonkbox2009 Жыл бұрын
"Open" brings the specified file into the workspace replacing anything else that is already there. "Import" brings it in in addition to anything already there. So, for example, you could do three imports to bring in three drawings that you wanted to use in your project. I'm sure you figured this out by now but maybe the next person hasn't.

It sounds like the origin may be set incorrectly. If the origin is set incorrectly then it would engrave the design in the wrong orientation. This could also be related to your start from mode.

When I click on load my files openes but there is nothing related to library.

LightBurn works for many different laser systems, and we do not provide a material library because we have no idea which laser you have. The material library is intended to let you store your own settings presets as you discover what works. The maker of your laser machine likely has a table of suggested settings available somewhere to use as a starting point.
