🆕 Lightburn V 1.3.01, RESIZE SLOTS, NEW FEATURE. PLUS, Anchor Points & how to use them!

[@lightburnsoftware7189]

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.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

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!

[@VinnysProjects]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Page 22 sect 3.4.7 covers what they call the "9-dot control". Didn't check to see if it was anywhere else.

Awesome! *Thank you Vince!* I have the best subscribers! 👍

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

*The pivot is in DEGREES, not mm!* My old brain like to play tricks on me! The "Anchor Points" do more than just what I showed in the video! Try using it while aligning two graphics! *A BIG THANK YOU to Lightburn Software for their comments and corrections!*

Hi Rich - thank you for adding more understanding to this topic, 'anker' and slots, which are used so much and can simplify the process enormously - have an amazing day!

Thanks so much, you too!

[@ianmallett78UK]

I am looking for a video on how to move my slots and tabs up or down my project. I am an R/C modeler and when I have had a mishap and want put in a new former into the original slots it can be a bit of hit or miss getting the tab or slot in the right place, sometimes I can be a couple of mm to high or to low. Instead of having to readjust the complete former all it will need is to move the slots up or down a couple of mile meters, I am using Lightburn for my design programme and a Falcon 10watt laser. Hope you can get the idea of what I am trying to explain to you. Thank you very much with any help you can give. Ian Mallett

[@emanuelpelleg281]

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

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Check out my clock video Emanuel! Circular arrays is the way to go!

[@SamsWoodCreations]

When I updated Lightburn last week and saw the slot resizing tool I was like, "OMG Lets Do a Double Back Flip" ..lolol... I resize a lot and that tool is a game changer😍🙋

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Agreed Sam! 👍

[@swissfreek]

Nice and straightforward, thanks! Would be cool if they added the ability to expand the slots only outward or inward instead of centered. I guess you could do it now if you went one side at a time using the anchors. Expanding outward for example would keep the space between the slots on either side the same width.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yes Frank, one side at a time! Just an extra minute or so to do.

[@Sigma3DCrafts]

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.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

There's actually a lot more to the anchor points. I just wanted to reference it in the video to bring awareness. It's main purpose is use with multiple shapes.

[@UbberMapper]

How do you control the offset direction for the increased slot sizes...Because it looked like it stretched equally in all directions which wouldn't work for some designs.

[@lightburnsoftware7189]

At present you cannot control the direction. The tool will never work for absolutely everything, but it would need to know how the object was assembled in order to do that, and it would be extremely complicated to make that work.

That was what I was wondering about too. If one could select some edges for lap joints, cross lap joints, dove tails etc that would be very handy.
