Hello.
I’m new of lightburn and i would like to know if it’s possble to mask an image between two shapes.
I saw the faq and if the lines are at the same cut level and grouped, i can mask the image between them.
but i don’t nee the lines are in the same cut level, otherwise i’ll have 2 cuts (and i need just one, the external one).
any solution?
Seems you’re doing a boolean operation here. Can you confirm? Based on the reading of your post it at first sounded like you were trying to “apply mask to image”.
I’m not convinced I understood what it is that you’re looking for but it sounds like you don’t want the mask layer to contribute to the boolean operation. In that case, do not group the inner and outer shapes.
- group all the shapes of the background pattern
- select grouped pattern, then add outer “mask” shape to selection
- Tools->Boolean intersection
I would like to make it like the first image, but in that case I have to make the 2 cut lines (the sape and it’s offset) but I just need one cut line (the external one)
I can’t quite make sense of what you mean. The part that’s not clear is you saying you have to make the 2 cut lines but then saying you only need one. Those seem contradictory to me. Can you elaborate?
nope. i have to engrave the internal and cut the external perimeter. if i make all the 2 shapes at the same cut level, i can group them and then apply mask. but in that case, i have 2 cuts: the inside one and the external one. should come like this but the internal line shoul be T1 to be not cutted.
i can’t make the same layer cut: the internal one should be T1 (to be not cutted) and the externa one to be cutted.
Can you upload the .lbrn file for review? There are multiple concepts going on here and I want to confirm specifically what it is that we’re dealing with.
Solved: I have to make a 3rd shape of 0.1, then group the other 2 shapes as T1 and then apply the mask to them.
