Simple drawing advice for alignment

That’s also my preferred way to do it.

Does not work if you need to go between the grid points on a fixed measurement IE 26.5 mm. for the top line. and 15 mm for the bottom.

It’s does in fact work.
Just draw your top and bottom lines the length you want.
I only used the grid lines to simplify the example.
You can turn off the grid and still do it.

One can also use the 4-point Warp tool. With a shape selected, from the top menu choose ‘Tools’–>‘Warp Selection (4 points)’. Holding the Shift key while dragging a handle will maintain horizontal symmetry. Holding Alt / Option while dragging a handle will maintain vertical symmetry. Double-click on a handle to reset it.

You can discover more about the Warp and Deform tooling here:

Absolutely brilliant, and just what I was looking for.
All ideas given had a purpose but this one is my favorite and so easy to use.

Thank you Rick

I’ve needed to do something else related to “Wrap” before and I learned about this function, but I couldn’t remember exactly how to do it.
At the time, I even created a topic to ask another question!!!
Why do we forget things when we really need them? Does Lightburn have too many options, or am I just getting old and senile?
Thanks for reminding me!!!

My guess is old and senile. I know that’s my excuse.

My son asked me if I was getting senile. I told him no, I just don’t tolerate stupidity like I used to.

Just tested, the Warp Tool 4-point works on text too

I had to use a translator to try and figure out if you were joking or making a more serious statement. Only in the translation did I realize I read “smile” instead of “senile.”

Besides being old and senile, now I’m also becoming nearsighted!!! I think I’ll rethink my Christmas wish list…

Regarding using this tool in text, I believe there’s at least one video that addresses the topic. But I’m not so sure anymore.
I apologize for prolonging a topic that has already been resolved, but I’m only doing so because I believe there is still useful information to be shared!

I agree. Solved without all the questions answered leaves us wanting more.

Maybe my brain is fragmented and need to defrag.

Or delete a bunch of old useless info and free up some memory.
