Hole Layout Tool

I’m a long time Lightburn user (right from when it was first released) and love the app, but sometimes things take a little longer to do than maybe they should, so over the last year or so I’ve developed a series of tools that can help speed up the process of a few things. I designed them for my own use, but they are available to anyone to use. No doubt I’ll get a few comments to say you can do exactly the same thing in Lightburn, which you can, my tools are there to speed things up a bit and maybe make it easier, nothing else.

This is the latest one I have just put online:

This design tool is aimed at Lightburn and maybe CNC users. It allows for quick, easy and accurate hole placement on a shape, so If you are designing a sign and want holes in each corner, this tool saves you a lot of time, just set the shape size, hole diameter, offset from edge and if you require just corner holes, holes along the sides of the shape or both combined. Copy the result and paste directly into Lightburn or other design software. You can find it at www.burntstuff.com/tools/holes as usual its totally free to use, there are no cookies, registration or adverts to worry about.

Great tool for holes around things.

I notice that when changing the number of holes required for corners and sides, the odd numbers have no influence on the number of holes shown. Maybe the generator should skip the odd numbers so that they are not an option.
