Multiple cut layers

LightBurn Software Questions
1

I’m not sure why I can’t do this but I’m trying to make multiple cut layers. One layer I have red but if I use any other color on another object it thinks I want to engrave it, not cut it. What am I missing? Thanks

You assign the cut/engrave parameters to each layer. Lightburn uses ‘last used’ settings, but you can override them to anything you want.

But the cut settings editor isn’t giving me the scan angle, line interval, etc

Did you select the Layer’s ‘Mode’? If you don’t select a Fill mode then you won’t get those options.

If I select the red layer for the 2nd object, I have to use the same settings as the first object. I need 2 different cut layers and I’m just not finding them

Please post screenshots of your settings and the file that you are trying to make along with any photos of the project. You should be able to see what you are doing in “preview”

Is your second layer an image or vector. You cant line an image.

Perhaps it would be best if you read the Lightburn documentation about Layers and look for tutorials on using and setting cut layers. I’m not going to duplicate that documentation here.
