Can I export frame button output directly to GCode?

Option 1 - I haven’t tried this but I think it should work.

1. Enable “Show All” in Console.
2. Push Frame
3. Capture frame gcode in Console

This seems like the easiest way - but will it still send GCode if there is no laser connected to the computer? (I just realized that would be an issue!)

Option 2

1. Instead of relying on the frame button create actual shapes in LightBurn that represent the frame and encompass your design
2. Put the shapes on a special layer that mimic frame-like power and speed settings
3. Use a rectangle to mimic the rectangular frame and use Arrange->Create rubberband outline from selection to mimic the rubberband frame
4. select frame shape and save gcode

That would also let me taylor the outline shape I’m making so if I’m working with an irregular shape like this:

That way if I want to take advantage of the added height in the middle, the outline will show me how the shape fits into the material.

Is there an easy way to make the CNC repeat the shape until I hit “Stop?”
