Thanks a lot! Instead of 3 copies on 3 layers and then deleting, i had 1 copy only, went 'I' and 'B' in node edit to insert points and break vectors, and then assign the splitted vectors to the three new different layers. I prefer this way to prevent the chance of overlapped duplicates on different layers and to know immediately when i'm finished by original layer got empty. But there's never just one way to do things!

Thank you for sharing. That is a nice solution too! As you said, there are always multiple ways to do something. I will have to try your way the next time I am doing a similar type of thing.

I am glad this will be helpful. It was one of those projects that just hit me and I wanted to figure out how to draw this in LighBurn.

@@CNCATHome I've been using LightBurn for over a year now and even use it to design signs then save as an .SVG file and import into my ancient sign making software. And of course I use it with my laser. It is an outstanding piece of software...very powerful.

watching the mouse pointer would help in some parts of the video. Many thanks for it anyway!

@CNCATHome Год назад

I totally agree. It was a shame that it wasn't recorded in this screen capture. I have not had this happen since but I still check the footage after the capture to make sure it is there.

It just seems to me that you could do the full pattern as an etch which would cut partly through at every line, then burn the cut-outs all the way through (or the rest of the way through).

@CNCATHome Год назад

Absolutely! There are numerous ways this could be done. It all depends on what you need/want for the final results. I tend to over do things sometimes. ;-) Your way would be more simple. My way would burn faster as there is less repeated burns. Good thinking on your part on coming up with an easier way to burn this.

@richardparry1966 Год назад

What a faff Lightburn is , this is so much easier to do in 2D Design, no layers, no deleting of parts, just select the colour of the line that you want the laser to cut or engrave.

@CNCATHome Год назад

More power to you if you have a tool you like using. In LightBurn, assigning a layer to an element isn't really any different than changing its color and having different cutting parameters assigned to each color. Even reading in a file where there are multiple colored lines will result in those lines being assigned to a layer.

@jessetutterrow4320 2 года назад

Absolute Beginner here, why not just engrave the entire thing as the black layer and then cut through the black layer where appropriate?

@CNCATHome 2 года назад

Thank you for the question. That is kind of what we are doing. By having this on three layers, I can engrave the few areas that do not get cut all the way through first. Then I can cut out the layer that is inside the shape and finally cut the layer that is the outside. Save the best until last. I hope that makes sense. I talk about this at 6:37 in the video. :-)

@peterplantec7911 Год назад

Sadly I have to say that your dialog was hard to follow. I got the rough idea, but being new to light burn, I often had no clue what you were doing. Perhaps a little less assumption of what we know. Your message is important

@CNCATHome Год назад

I guess at some point, I do assume a certain level of understanding of LightBurn. In future videos, I will attempt to keep the explanation more clear and assume beginner level LightBurn use. Thank you for the input.
