In RDw there is a Point [left side- looks like a starburst] that I use a lot- it can be grouped but will not actually be acted upon- no cutting or engraving. IE- my file cut before engraving and now I want to engrave without cutting- it will maintain the corner that the laser is starting from.
Also the hotkey for node editing is Cnt+’ in the Tool dropdown and Cnrl+ - in the hot keys I downloaded from this site- neither works for me. It works fine from the Tool menu. Yes, I do a lot of node editing. Thanks Gene
Node editing is Ctrl + the backward apostrophe (usually above the tilde key, upper left of the keyboard).
LightBurn does not have a point primitive at the moment, but it also doesn’t alter the output origin if you turn on / off different layers, or just use ‘Cut Selected Graphics’.
You can tell it you want it to change the origin by enabling the ‘Use Selection Origin’ toggle as well - then the origin point is computed from just what’s being run.
The Node editing shortcut doesen’t work for me neither. I don´t have the apostrophe key where you said (spanish keyboard), but I tried every key with Ctrl and no one does the trick
nothing happens. And nothing with the key down this nor the up key. No one of the accent or apostrophe key works. and I tried all the other keys and no one enter on node edit mode, I also tried with Ctrl+Shft and those keys and doesen´t works. Of course double cheked first all is ungrouped
That works- never noticed that key before:upside_down_face:
Thanks- I will try to work around the Point problem, just getting serious about learning LB. Gene
Can you go to Help > Enable Debug Logging and then try pressing the key in the upper-left, by itself, then with Ctrl, then press the key Rick highlighted by itself, and then again with Ctrl. Then quit, and send me the LightBurnLog.txt file from your documents folder. I should be able to figure out which key that is.
I can’t use N (Ctrl-N is new file). I could probably just use Ctrl+1, as everyone should have that. I could just make an alias shortcut that acts as a backup.
Well, the upper-left key is pretty consistent, but the other one flips, and in the second file you posted, Ctrl + that key doesn’t resolve to anything, so I’ll likely try using the upper-left one if I can.
The natural distribution of my keyboard is Spain, not latin, so that was probably the problem. I think any keyboard with that apostrophe key in it (anywhere it’s placed), set in windows to it’s natural cofiguration, should work. I deleted the first file posted cause pressed the incorrect key ( I pressed the key just under the ricks marked)
