First off - I am SURE it is me not doing something I should be doing.
Soo, I am trying to learn more about how to use Lightburn and get better at it.
I am trying to use the Optimize Cut Path
I have the green button clicked ON
I go into Optimize Settings
I try changing things - Order by Layer, Order by Group, Cut in direction, right-left-top, reduce travel moves, etc, etc
Then I click OK
Then I go to preview - NOTHING changes.
There MUST be something I am not doing - like recalculating or something like that.
Right at the top of that page is a link, to a video worth review on the subject that can be helpful in understanding the expected effects of the changes made to optimize your cut planning process. For faster service…find below.
Let us know what additional question arise, what you are trying to control, and we might be able to suggest adjustments to achieve what you are wanting.

Before I posted I watched the video a couple of times. I also read the documentation, a couple of times.
I tried just making squares like in the video and that worked out OK. I kept playing around and I got my file to work, but I think the settings in the CUT / Layers make a difference. I am pretty sure that is where the differences existed. It was in the individual settings, not in the optimization that was giving me issue.
