Rectangles, Circles, Polygons, and Text shapes are different - They store the information used to build the path, and if any of that information changes, the path is discarded an re-built from scratch.įor example, Rectangle shapes know their Width, Height, and whether the corners have a radius. Path shapes are the "lowest level" thing you can make in LightBurn. If you use the Draw Lines tool, you are directly creating what LightBurn calls a Path shape. In LightBurn, all vector objects are stored as paths - a series of points connected by lines or curves. LightBurn will snap to object centers, end points of lines or curves, or center point of lines or curves, in addition to just snapping to the grid.
You can bypass this behavior by pressing the Ctrl key (Command on MacOS). This means LightBurn is going to snap what you're about to make to that point. Note that in all of the above tools, when creating a new shape, you will occasionally see the cursor change if you hover over a point on an existing shape. Video Tutorial: Trim and Extend Snapping ¶ While hovering over a point, extend line from point under mouse to intersection with another shape While hovering over a line, trim line under mouse at next intersection Note that built-in primitives in LightBurn, like Text, Ellipses and Rectangles, cannot be edited without converting them to a generic path object first using Convert to Path. The Edit Nodes tool allows you to edit the nodes, lines, and curves that make up a shape in LightBurn.
