Great tutorial overall, but a few minor corrections: - Rotation is in degrees, not mm. :) - The slot resizing tool will find slots in your selection that matches the criteria, so you could have selected the entire set of shapes inside the large outer lines (and even those outer lines themselves) and LightBurn will only resize things that match what you ask it to. - Slots can be rectangles - they don't need to be converted to paths first. - The anchor position does not affect slot resizing.

Thanks for joining in! I corrected the brain fart in the pinned comment on degrees. (and don't tell anyone, but I just wanted to get the anchor point into a video 🤪) I tried selecting all and it didn't work. I got an error that said no paths were found. Now I just tried it again and it worked... strange! Thanks for the corrections!

Hi, I think your tutorials are great, and I have used many of them to learn Lightburn. However, the only problem I found was the anchor points tutorial, you described rotating 11mm. This is a small angle and I think I have a more friendly instruction how to highlight the anchor point rotation. I have just gone into Lightburn and test the rotation for myself and make sense of it. Create a square, from the centre anchor point rotate by 45 degrees. You should have a diamond shape. When you select the shape you have all the outer points still in the shape of the reference anchor points. I suggest selecting bottle middle anchor point. Rotate 90 degrees and the shape has moved round to the right. I think that will be a lot clearer for your users and me. Thanks again for the great tutorials and good luck for the future with your new Realms project. I am waiting avidly to watch you three produce fantastic projects.

Hi Rich. Many thanks to you for this tutorial (and many thanks to Lightburn, too). Resizing slots has really been quiet difficult, up to now, with complex designs. Your tutorial is very clear and helpful. As Anchor and Rotation: I have just prepared my first clock face and found those features useful in placing the numbers and the small "commas" ( for 1, 2, 4 o'clock etc.) . I used a temporary thin arm, anchored in the center of the clock and made it rotate 30 degrees each time. For this you would have to anchor the "arm" in center top or center bottom. One can also use an arm as long as a full diameter (instead of a radius long arm) . In this case you have to anchor the arm in the center and when you rotate it 30 degrees at a time you get the right positions for two marks at a time. Emanuel

I found out later you don't need to convert them to a path. If you're not putting in the original slot sizes, it won't select them.
