Changing lead in postions

I have this sign made up and I’m trying to change the lead in cuts to move to the inside of the waste material. I’ve seen a couple subjects on this, maybe changing the start point from a corner to a line? But I’m not sure how to do that. The “set start point” button doesn’t be seeming to work like I want it ex; like a triangle shape. If the image uploaded correctly, you would see, the smaller letters and each start stop point it would have to make. Am I expecting to much from the software to figure out which part of the cut material I want to keep? And how can I change it to let me alter each point it begins a lead in cut, to be from a different angle/ come from a different direction?

It did not. Please try to upload the image again. The file is here, but the image is not. :slight_smile:

You can

  • drag and drop, in-line with your text
  • use your OS Copy and Paste (Ctrl+C - Ctrl+V), in-line with your text
  • Hit this to open an Upload dialog to point to the image file. image

Edit: I opened your LightBurn file and do not see any lead-in set in any layer. I also notice you have these paths grouped and not closed. These shapes can be optimized differently, which may help, but you may have specific reasons for this structure I am not understanding.

OK, I Ungrouped, then selected and Auto-Join(ed) (Alt+J) the inside shapes to join and close them, then re-grouped the internal. I closed the outside shape as well. Here I show that you now need to Ungroup shapes to gain access to edit the Start Point.

Quick Tip: You can also Add a node (while in Node Edit mode) along a given path to better place the Start Point for that shapes Lead-in. :wink:
