I make cell phone stands. I have occasion to change width of cut outs/slots according to material thickness. I can work in png, svg (preferable) or Illustrator.
Must be a quick and easy way to do this to a file without redrawing the entire item.
Any ideas welcome.
you can ungroup items and select the one you want to adjustâŚtongue/groove/slot etcâŚthen click edit nodes then change by moving node. or you can click edit nodes, select the nodes you want to change, disconnect those nodes then select each line and adjust length by typing the dimension into the box for height or width. several youtube videos on the topic.
There isnât yet, but will be soonâŚ
That is great⌠
Many of us have had that specific issue and itâs not an easy fix⌠This looks like a great update âŚ
ThanksâŚ
Available in the next version?
Tomorrow maybe? LOL

Until OZ getâs finished with his update.
I used about three times before getting the hang of it, works great if you follow the instructions on the UTUBE.
Oz, thank you! You are an intuitive genius!
Is there a way to switch between âmmâ and âinâ in the âResize Slot in Selectionâ feature? I missed seeing how to make the change. So far, if I convert my slot dimension to mm, then input it in the software, the slots do change size, but I have to convert both directions. Thanks.
Lightburn works internally with mm, so I suspect they havenât applied the âinchâ option to it yetâŚ
It has happened to other âfunctionsâ theyâve built⌠initial release is mm only⌠so I suspect they know about it working only in mm at this time.
I keep forgetting that Americans do everything in inches and itâs maddening. 
Thatâll be something for the next update, Iâm afraid.
Using one or the other has never bothered me. In our shop it has always been pertinent to use either/or.
Although I havenât gotten the âslotsâ program to work for me on a Mac, you do a fabulous job with LightBurn.
I am American and itâs madding to meâŚ
Who though the length of someone foot being a useful standard? Not to mention the intelligence of dividing it by 12�
I was told in high school weâd be all metric soon⌠Since everything around the world is metric along with most of the science work done âŚ
And it cost us millions of dollars alreadyâŚ
Guess Iâll have to learn to live with itâŚ
