How do I reorder cut sequence?

I’m trying to cut a lot of things with my laser cutter near the limits of what it’s made to cut. So I want to do all the cuts, then repeat them all instead of cutting each small feature one after the other. I keep setting the pass count really low, and restarting the cut so the partly cut material can cool off for a few seconds and doesn’t burn (deform) the area right next to it.

…if I make 40 passes I can cut anything! But I have to let the machine cycle through each line before returning back to the first, 40 cuts in a small circle back to back doesn’t do whaht it’s intended to!

I’m using lightburn 1.4.05 on Windows.

This has been discussed a few times…

One potential workaround, instead of setting multiple passes, create multiple sublayers… one for each “pass”. You’ll be limited to 11 sub-layers, however, so would need to work around that.
