I am fairly new to Lightburn but picking up things quickly by doing and manipulating some designs. However, I have hit the stops on this problem.
I have the attached image with parts of the design on separate layers and I want to place everything outside of the outer black circle onto the black layer and similarly everything outside the inner black circle into the black layer so that I can cut out this disk with the notes overhanging the perimeter.
I am not saying that it is the correct solution but I did try using the boolean functions but they are greyed out.
I suspect I am missing something obvious and thank you in advance for your advice.
Group all of your notes. If you want any of the remaining sections to fill, set them to fill before doing the following. Duplicate your black circles. Select the grouped notes then shift select one of the black circles. Go to Tools> Cut shapes. Click off the image, select the center notes group and shift select the other black circle. Go to Tools> Cut Shapes. You now have 3 separate shapes. You can select the inner notes and change to black, if that didn’t happen when cutting and repeat for the outer notes.
The easiest / fastest solution is to group all the objects and create an outer offset of 0.1mm or so. Then you get another cut line on the outside. Though, this is not a perfect solution, since you have increased project duration because those areas are touched twice.
The “correct” solution is as Tim described.
