The green circles are the lead ins Lightburn got right.
The red circles are the ones Lightburn didn’t get right.
Apart from the squares (all inside square lead ins wrong):
what’s up with the a’s, d’s and e’s? (some are right, some are wrong)
The h has no inner cutout. Why is the lead in inside the letter?
The layer is set to line with lead in.

Optimization settings → choose corner if possible: deactivated
I don’t understand what is going on here.
I was under the impression that ‘lead in’ works like ‘kerf offset’ as far as finding inner and outer edges is concerned.
Looking at the image above this is clearly not the case. But why?
I’m on LB1.5beta, but latest 1.4 showed the same behaviour.
Can someone please shed some light on this?
thank you in advance

Hmm,
that is unfortunate.
Separating the shapes to layers with different lead in angles might be possible if cutting some shapes.
But if there are many shapes to cut or text from a .csv it would be quite time consuming to find all the lead ins to verify if they are done properly.
Seems as if lead ins are out of the picture until Lightburn can be trusted to get them all right
The location of the Lead-in / Lead-out can be adjusted by placing a node where you’d like the lead and set the start point to that new node. Refinements to this feature are on our list of things to work through, but will take some time. Thank you for the feedback.
Good that the lead ins can be edited, but as i said: if there are many shapes involved things quickly get a little tedious.
Thanks for the heads up regarding future refinements.
For now (if many shapes are involved) i think i prefer not using lead ins until they work reliably.
IMO this should be a ‘set and forget’ feature much like kerf-offset is.
Once dialed in it should just reliably do it’s thing without the need of additional editing.
