Another How too question

I have a question about Line cut and a Fill engrave

So, say I have a word or design that I want to fill and then touch the edges to give a clean define edge.

At the moment I can only change it in my layer’s pallet for that action (to little knowlage)

Can these two action be seperated in two different layer’s

how do I also set the software to cut all layer’s ( again little knowlage ) one after another ??

sorry for the silly questions

Funny, I am doing exactly this here this morning. Use the Offset Shapes Tool, with about a 0.005mm outside offset. Make that outline a new layer so it does not flip your burn/no-burn pattern (Preview window is your most important tool in Lightburn). Also look for little offsets inside your image that you may not want and should remove. Using the Group and Ungroup Tools will be very habdy when doing this.

I use Cut Selected Graphics, then sequence my layers like I want in the Cuts/Layers window. Also set your priorities in the Laser window, Optimization Settings.

I am sure you will find this video useful. And do not forget the Lightburn Online Documentation (look in the Help Menu) is a goldmine of information.
