Opening multiple jobs simultaneously

Does anyone know if it’s possible to have more than one job open at a time
Creating tabs so that you don’t have to save and close a job to open another

You can open multiple instances of Lightburn on one PC with one license. Taskbar, right click on Lightburn instead of left, and select the name “Lightburn” alone, should be above “Pin to Taskbar” option.

@Dannym Is correct in that you can have multiple copies of Lightburn open at once. The cavate being only one can control a given laser at a time. For instance, you have started Job1 from LB instance 1 on Laser1. In LB instance 2 you complete making adjustments to Job2 and want to Send Job2 to Laser1 for processing when Job1 completes. This scenario is not supported.

LB instance 1 Starts Job1 on Laser1. LB Instance 2 Starts Job2 on Laser2. This may work. My question is what if both lasers are connected with USB? Or both Enternet or WiFi or one USB and one Enternet? Sorry, I don’t have multiple lasers to test this with.

Hi Joe, if you just want to add more pic’s/images on the screen at once and run them off to the laser separately, just use the ‘import’ tab at the top of Lightburn.

Make sure you have ‘Cut selected graphics’ selected.

You can then work on others while running another through the laser.
