Define speed/power per shape for test card

[BlakeC (Blake)]

Hi there,

I’m new to Lightburn and I cannot figure out how to do the following: I’m creating a fairly standard cutting test card with on the horizontal axis the power and on the vertical axis the speed. I end up with 10 x 10 = 100 squares. However, Lightburn has around 30 layers available in the color patches on the bottom of the screen. How do I add more layers or specify the speed/power per shape?

Thanks,
Blake

Thank you so much! The example file is very helpful. I did not know about the Power Scale functionality and it is exactly what I was looking for.
