Two questions about Light Burn

[Ram48 (Raymond A McCrodden)]

Hello I am about to become a LB user but have a few questions about the program and will likely have a few more in the coming days.
Does the new version of Light Burn have the remove duplicate lines function active?

How would I hook up my rotary device in LB?
Thanks
Ray

If you have never set up the rotary, read here as a starting point:

In the rotary setup dialog, choose an arbitrary value to start with, like 10000. Set the roller circumference to 100mm, then exit the rotary setup. Draw a tall, thin rectangle 100mm tall, and run it. There will be a pause as…
