LIGHTBURN V2 close path

CLOSE PATH FOR FILL OPTION.

In LB 1.xxx You have to be creative when closing a shape when using the FILL option. Seems LB2 has this fixed?
When you now use the PENCIL tool to draw a shape, it will now CLOSE as soon as your line gets to the original start point.

I may not be understanding the situation. The pencil/line tool has always closed a shape if completed in a continuous loop.

Check out this screencap from 1.7.08:

Are you describing something different?

HIYA Yes that is with SNAP TO OBJECTS set. Not always necessary option.

Although slightly harder to line-up, it works the same way without snap to objects. This shows how it works in 1.7.08 with snap to objects disabled.

My question is around trying to understand what you’re calling out as different in v2 since it’s not apparent to me that there’s a difference in behavior. From what I can tell they both behave the same in this regard.

This behavior is standard when your construction layer is set to “fill” and you have chosen to display the layer in its respective state. However, it can be helpful for visualizing closed shapes.
