*THERE IS A QUICK UPDATE TO THIS VIDEO!* ua-cam.com/video/jp9onT8WsXA/v-deo.html
Excellent !!! Never thought about what to do about arranging things that way !!! Great video Rich !!
Glad you liked it James!
Great as always. You keep teaching me new ways to use Lightburn.
Great to hear!
you are my #1 go to to learn how to use lightburn better tyhank you for your time & HELP
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! 👍
Very interesting! Thank you Rich! I'll definitely be using this feature! Your the best!
Thank you so much Kevin! I really appreciate it! 👍
Thanx Rich, you're a very good teacher, crystal clear explanation, thanx again. Best wishes from Holland.
I appreciate that, *thanks!*
Thanks!
Welcome! Thanks so much for the support Richard!
Thanks so much for this, Rich! I've learned a ton from your awesome tutorials. I am trying to set up a 3 track cribbage board using this method for hole placement. I wondered if there is an easy way to do an offset inward for the subsequent tracks' holes, keeping them aligned with first track (or to shift them in anyway, if possible)? It's a coffee mug-shaped board, so it's wonky. Thanks for any insight you can offer.
Yes Heather, just set them on another layer.
I just want to confirm do we need to have the snap function active or will it do this automatically… I’m a newwwwwbie but love your videos because I’m learning quickly.
The snap function is always active Deb. You can define the settings in the Device Settings, the wrench and screwdriver icon.
I have only been lasering for a couple of months and although there are lots of people doing tutorials, I must admit you are the one I watch and listen to. You seem to explain thing a lot more succinctly and make it easier to follow. Many thanks for the time you put into your video's and I look forward to many more. Steve in the UK.
Wow! Thank you so much Steve! I really appreciate it! I'm a slow learner, so I try and explain it to myself the way I would learn it the best. I often have to practice several times for it to sink in, which is why I usually do a technique several times in a video.
Great video. I'm learning so much from your videos. Very easy to fellow. Thanks.
Glad to hear it!
Enjoy your video's. I am just a brand new (OLD) explorer oof laser technology. I am contemplating purchase of a laser but wanted to know more about how to use the tool. To that end I was thinking that I would download the 30 day trial of lightburn to explore using it. My question is will it woe=rk without having the laser and will there be challenges to syncing it to a tool when I get one?
Yes, you'll have the option to add a fake device if you don't actually have one on installation.
Thanks so much for this Rich, it's a great help. Would copy along path be a useful way to add slots/tabs with specific spacing around an object?
Yes Steve, you could absolutely use it for that! That's one way to get exact spacing.
Hello Rich, Dave from L.I., been awhile..Great Video,Never too Old to learn more struff.. Working with Lightburn for 5 Yrs. now,Never tried this, just got the hang of it.....Be Well,,Brother
Awesome! I went to High School at Hauppauge High.
Quick question, is there a way to change the origin point of the path
Yes Darrell, I cover it at about 6 1/2 minutes in on this video: ua-cam.com/video/hJT-WthK1Gw/v-deo.html
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Thanks, have not watched this one yet
Now that I've got it all set up, your videos will certainly lead the way for me as I learn to use it. It's just a TS-3 but with a super charged exhaust and adjustable air assist. Wanted to eliminate anything and everything that could go wrong before I started...Thanks, and please do realize that you're right on track when it comes to "long winded" as you say...I mean right on track in the way that everything is explained in detail slowly and perfectly for those who want to learn. I'll be the next guy in line recommending you for any beginner I'm sure...
Thanks!
Hi we just bought 2 artur3 laser machine and I'm having problems to connect to the computer Internet any help
This should help: ua-cam.com/video/v3RDzOrlCTM/v-deo.html
I just started lasering ( 2 months) and love these videos, best way to learn LightBurn:-). I couldn't find a way for a curved line to insert rectangular patterns that are always at a 90 degree angle to the line? Is it shown in some other video?
Search my channel for the word clock.
I'm just wondering if there is a specific reason for ensuring that the shape is aligned to the second shapes' origin? I ask because, just for test, I did this with a large circle with a smaller circle around it. I snapped the small circle to the larger one (after converting it to a path) , and ran the "copy along path" function. It worked as you showed (never knew about this, so thank you for that) and THEN I checked to see where the origin was. Sure enough, I didn't have the shape anywhere near the origin of the circle. Just wondering if that does matter for some reason I'm not seeing? Thanks!
No, it appears you no longer have to use the green origin point. That's great to know!!!
Fantastic tutorials. I am still learning (i.e. I have only had a couple of weeks with the software) but you helped a lot!
Glad I could help!
Good tutorial Rich. Very helpful
Thanks Rob!
I read the Help documentation but it doesn't make as much sense to me as when you explain it.
Thank you for what you do.
I appreciate that, *thanks!*
I love your videos! I learn something new all the time from you. Thanks for all the great content brother!
Glad to hear it Joseph!
I could see this being useful if you want to do constellations. I think I'm going to design some coasters today.
Go for it!
I dea for another short tutorial "how do youy organize you art library?"
I explain folder organization in over a dozen videos Harry. The Art Library has to have distinctive names for each one.
Thanks again. Great job at explaining.
Glad it was helpful!
All of you are great help with your ideas for us newbies.
Thanks! 👍
Great video, as always! Thanks.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Very helpful, both this and the update.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for Yet Another Super Informative vidclip .... Now Another Question ????.... When one does 'TEXT' along a path, circle, oval.... One ends up with the 'Base Shape' that you can't delete without the 'Text' going back to a 'Straight Line' .... ????? In the last example you did HERE .... The 'Random Line' .... Can one place 'TEXT' along That Line and then delete the 'Base Line' in the same way that you did the 'Stars' .... Thanks, I really Appreciate ALL your Wonderful 'Tutorials' .... So well explained .... Cheers to You and ALL from ChCh, NZ ..... Keith
Just put the line (or the path, whatever it is) on a tool path, T1 or T2 instead of deleting it.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Thanks a Stack .... YES.... That is what I had done prior to asking .... :-) :-) :-) Just thought that there might be a 'simpler' method.... Just like the options in This Vidclip .... :-) :-) :-) Best to You, Yours and All from ChCh, NZ
underrated channel. super clear to understand. thank you.
I appreciate that!
You're a very good instructor!
I appreciate that!
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks so much!
So much to learn.
Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much
Any time!
excellent video sir!
Thanks Patrick! Much appreciated!
Rich, great video as usual! Watching this reminded me of questions that I have while node editing. Could you do a video explaining how to use all the features/shortcuts available while node editing? Things like extend and smooth sound cool but I don't know what they are supposed to do or how they work! Thanks for your consideration.
Noted Barry! And if you press the F1 key while hovering over the node edit icon, it'll open a browser to the help documentation.
You are a big help. Thank you
Glad to hear that!
Now do text...
Done that several times...
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy I haven't found that one yet...
Thanks!
You bet! Much appreciated, thanks! 👍
Thanks Rich!
You bet!
Thank you Sir.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you 😊
You're welcome Rayne 😊
Thanks Rich
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! 👍
Great tutorial, Rich. I often forget these hidden features if not used for a while. Awesome job 👍
Don't fee bad David, I do too until someone asks a question! 🤪
Thanks
Welcome!
Great tip, thanks.
I like your tutorials, Rich, xou take your time, explain and show everything without rushing through the subjects.
Really GREAT!
I appreciate that, thanks!
Your video’s are getting even better …. The use of the red arrow if a great idea and explanation is spot on … it’s like my books *wood working for dummies* awesome job young man! ( I can say that at my age) if I ever get a laser I’ll be able to set it up easily because of you !! Lasermatic is looking good at this point … ( i read something about it have a pass through? )
Thanks! Yes, the new Mk2 has a 1" tall by 17" wide pass through, front and back.
Thanks for all the help brother. For me I'm good with a short or long tutorial. I appreciate all the work you put into your videos.
Wow! Thank you so much! I appreciate the comments!
As a regular user of Lightburn (and other design programs), quite often I need a reminder on how to do things like this. A series of 2 minute memory joggers would be a great idea.
Yeah, but I can't say hello in 2 mins 🤪 let alone explain the process. And probably 95% of folks watching would have no idea what I'm talking about and ask for a longer version 🤓
i’m having an issue when setting the size of the object I want to cut an item 224.500mm wide by 117.250 mm tall, I notice that the item the laser cut is considerably smaller than my size settings. How can I fix this?
Search my channel for calibration
Thanks! Appreciate tutorials like this!
Glad you like them Gerald! Thanks so much for the support!
Hello Mr. Rich, how are you? You are a creative and wonderful person , I congratulate you for these wonderful lessons ❤👍
Thank you so much Salam! I really appreciate it! 👍
4 year lightburn veteran and I thought i knew it all.....thanks Rich for the great tutorial.
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching... again!
Another really interesting tutorial I wish I'd known about this sooner, my bad! On a different note are you ever going to get around to a layered 3D map?
Probably not Steve, because the tutorial the way I would want to do it would take way too long.
Well that was a great video, I can see me using that technic on so many things. Once again thanks Rich. 👏👍
You bet Ian! Thanks for watching!
You are a treasure! I was overwhelmed with this software. You're videos have taught me so much!!
Glad to help!
Good morning Rich. If you had a head and you wanted stars around it, could you offset it and use the offset for the path?
Yes, absolutely Michael.
Another awesome tutorial Rich!
Thank you Andy!
Super cool!
Thanks, much appreciated!
Rich, another GREAT video. More and more I'm impressed with the robust design of Lightburn. You make it easy for us newbies to catch on. Thanks
Glad to help!
