Changing the way it burns

I am looking for a way to change the burning direction. it will burn back and forth and take 1hr to do a few letters in fill mode became of the movements pass the blank areas. I would like it to just burn each letter individually without setting each one a different layer. is their a way to set this as a default.

In Cut settings you have the option to “Fill all shapes at once”, “Fill groups together”, and “Fill shapes individually”. Depending on your design, going to one of the latter two will likely get what you’re looking for.

Keep in mind that there may be a quality compromise with this depending on your exact setup.

thanks, in my cut optimizations settings I do not have these options. are they located in another area.

Not Cut Optimization, Cut settings. So the settings for the layer.

sorry I am new at this. is this location located in the lightburn program or do I go the the omtech lazer settings itself. thanks

Double click on the layer in the cut/layer window, usually upper right.

thank you very much. I found it!

You might also perform an interval test under laser tools to see which looks best. From personal experience, I had my LPI set 300% too high for the look I wanted, it was adding a TON of time to fill settings.
