What have you done so far to accommodate the change in size?There are likely 2 things that need to be changed:1. Workspace size in LightBurn Edit->Device Settings. Note that you’ll want to express this in terms of width x height so 400x850 mm.2. Change of $131 value to $131=850 in Edit->Machine Settings.

is there a simple setting for when you rotate text 90 degrees? can i switch the scan direction to move y axis first then the x? when i rotate the text, and there is space between lines, the laser has to travel across those blank spaces just to make one small tick, then move on. seems would be faster to scan across the line of text rather than up/do...

In Art Library window there’s an “Import” button. Push that, you can then choose multiple files to import. I’m not sure if there’s a practical limit to how many can be selected.I’ll caution that even if something is packaged as an SVG that it may not really be in laser ready form. Even purchased SVGs may be of lo...

Does Lightburn save the calculated cut path optimizations in the file? Can it? Or, does it have to recalculate them every time I run the file? I’m on LB 1.3.01 on Ubuntu 22.04.

I was wondering if the LB devs could make a setting option where a warning message (ack) pops up before starting the engraving, to make sure you updated overlay image. I have bunch of the same designs and I sometimes forget to update overlay. It then gets misaligned.

When I am engraving, I notice that there are missed lines in the text that have not been engraved, they follow the hatch direction. I also use crosshatch and it is still there. I engrave stainless steel and within all the text there are these silver lines. Any ideas. I used a 0.001 hatch.

I am having issues with my machine not jogging to the correct position when I use LightBurn with my Mega V. It homes correctly front left ( looking at the machine). When I try to “set laser position on the program after homing it crashes to the opposite corner. I set up the machine as 885mmx885mm (just under the 35"x35” of the work area...

When I hit “start”, the laser travels back to home zero and tries...
