There must be a simple way to have text entered vertically or converted vertically. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? I can’t seem to find it in the LightBurn documentation. I’m pretty sure there’s a shortcut but I don’t recall.

There’s no native support for vertical text in LightBurn today.

A couple of workarounds:

1. Create a newline after each discrete letter
2. Create separate text objects for each letter and align as desired

100% agree. Make each letter a different text box. Arrange them with the align key. Done.
