can I import my settings or configuration file from my old Mac to my new one? That way I save myself a lot of trouble.

Yes, you can. Here is the first link I get from searching “move pref”:

How do I move preferences and cut settings to new computer?

I’ve installed lightburn on a New computer in our office. It works OK, but the old computer had a bunch of cut settings for different materials: plywood, acrylic, etc. But they do not appear in the new install. How do I move them over from the old computer to the new one?

Actually I think the only thing I got configured that id like to get is the grbl settings. Are those stored in a file as well? Where would I find that in a mac installation?

[Blake (Blake Bartlett)]

Those should be stored on the controller, I believe. You can open LB and go to your console, and type $$ and it should print them all out for you.

[marciokoko (Mars)]

oh i thought those were stored on the software

[Blake (Blake Bartlett)]

I’m not 100%, as I don’t have any GRBL machines, but I believe they’re all stored right on the controller.

[marciokoko (Mars)]

oh ok so the only thing i would have to control on the new software install would the the origin (front rear left right) and the workspace size, right?

Yes, your grbl settings are saved on the controller. The other file / things to consider when moving to a new system, any LightBurn Materials Library (.clb) files you may have created along with any of the fonts you want.
