Come and set yourself up with all the knowledge you need to get the most out of text and fonts within LIghtburn. You can make some amazing artwork in Lightburn, so don't limit yourself to only a few standard fonts.
I would love to see the projects you are creating with your laser and Lightburn! Unfortunately, you can not post pictures to RUclips, but you can in the Laser Livestreams Facebook group! facebook.com/groups/laserlivestream We would love to have you aboard!
Lightburn Rocks Gil!
Great! As always!
Thank you Mighty Toad 🐸
Hi there, I have a photo and I want to put words on the background of the photo to leave it white so when I engrave it the words pop out. Pretty much I don't want to engrave the words so it would remain as negative space. How do I do that in lightburn? Is so much easier in coreldraw but I don't use that program now. Thanks if you have any solutions.
Hey I have a question on doing text say on letter O I want to keep the center but cut out the rest is there a quick way to edit this like to bridge and keep the center of letters on cutting in lightburn or like letter B and so on thanks
Another great video, Thanks
Thank you Ray 🙏 Lots more to come!
I am having trouble with the size of fonts when I use the rotary tool but not on flat engraving . Can you advice me what to do . I drew a 2 x 2 square and the measurements are way off too .
Yet, another fair dinkum video Gil...Cheers mate!!!
Glad you enjoyed the info. 👍
Hi , tha ks for great video.Does Lightburn works with internet so you can download images to Lightburn and than engraved them?
I Need help i burned a word on a cutting board that is misspelled. I need to correct the file in lightburn for later use and i cannot do it. O am using 1.3.01 HELP Please asap!
I love your videos but on this it took me a while to find PREFRENCES, it actually under EDIT, SETTINGS. You may want to slow down a bit when dropping down menus. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback Mike. Sorry we were not so clear with the drop down menus, we will address it in future videos 👍
how do i put the square box in the middle
HOW TO GET LOWER CASE LETTERS? I TRY THE CAPS ON AND OFF, BUT IT STAYS THE SAME. YHNAKS
I normally create my cutting in Visual CADD and export as PDF to LightBurn. Can I then using the text options in LB and add labels and such to be engraved to the PDF file? Thanks
Hi Jay, glad you found us.
While I have not used Lightburn myself in this way, you should not have any issue importing a PDF and using the text feature to add text to your layout.
You could even re-export the finished design, text and all as a PDF for archiving!
What do you design in Visual CADD?
Can you share the link to get new fonts
Great video. When I put my text on a path it comes out inverted. How do I fix that?
Check this out: forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/text-to-path-mirrored-text-possible/4871
Really informative thx, however does lightburn come with fonts ie no download?
Hi Barry,
Lightburn uses the fonts installed in your OS system. So you don't need to load new ones directly, except for the SHX fonts as the operating system doesn't use them. If your interested in how to do that, I go through where and how to add SHX fonts in the tutorial.
What are you planing to create now that you have dived deeper into texts and fonts in Lightburn?
Does the red behind the font on preview does that mean that will be engraved ? Will that red be engraved also ? I’m trying to engrave words solid on the design the letters are outlined and I want them filled in and engrave on a shape but cut the shape out if that makes sense . . Heeellppp lol
The red in your preview window is the traversal move of your laser across the material. If you don't want to see it in your preview, click the slider beside the "Show traversal move" in your preview window and it will disappear.
Hello friend need your help, I’m new to laser machine. due to my work recently required to mark some text on a work surface. It’s a small text of 1.5mm tall text. I bought a ATOMSTICK X7PRO. And installed and tested but don’t know how to make text engrave to the work space by Lightburn.
Appreciate you would help me and tech me how to engrave text. It’s a first time I own and use this machine.
Thank you very much in advance. Lawrence
Lawrence, join the Facebook group and reach out to me directly. The link is in the video description.
A great explanation, thanks, just a note, the hebrew word is spelled שלום not שלים. Regards from the holy land. I'm in suburb of Jerusalem called Neveh Erez.
Noted. Thanks for the correction. Stay safe!
y didn't you share your SHX files with the users watching this video ?
Very easy to find in google, but I'll keep that in mind for future videos. Thank you.
🙏
I need this, but the resolution is so low I can’t follow and it hurts my eyes.
Thanks for the feedback. Old video when resolutions were different. I will revisit in the near future.
Why does my text burn backwards
You are dragging you text when you grab the corner slider... to the left or right. You can turn it back the right way by going in the opposite direction.
Hope that helps👍
As someone new to laser engraving this was not at all helpful.
You taught me what the preferences were but not how to combine, resize, and manipulate text along side images and shapes.
Appreciate your feedback. These sessions are designed to go hand in hand with previous learning.
What you commented on missing out is covered in other tutorial videos that can be found on the channel, and used in combination to develop your personal workflow and achieve the results you want.
Given that learning anything new is a journey, I hope that with further exploration the session here will combine to empower you to learn and use your laser and Lightburn’s potential to the fullest.
