If I want to do an inlay using a laser in lightburn I’d 2 two Fill layers, one a negative of the other and there’d be some tinkering with the kerf or using offsets to make them tight
When I use the same dxf, choose a female and a male inlay with a v bit - this is the result.
I’ve no idea how else I’m meant to be using it. The Tools and Features documentation isn’t clear but I understand this is a work in progress.
In general it would be nice if pocketing operations were clearly visible in the design space in the same way Fill operations are in lightburn - and tied to layers so I know for example anything yellow and filled is a pocket of 5mm and anything blue and filled its a pocket of 3mm etc. having to constantly open the preview window, (which defaults back to hardwood even if you change it) is frustrating. The layers/operations and assigning shapes bit of the interface is also very frustrating.
Create an Operation and enable ‘Auto Use Layer’
Select an Operation, select a shape and ‘Assign Shape’ doesn’t add it to the layer
Select an Operation, select a different shape and ‘Assign Shape’ - removes the first shape
Select 2 shapes, add to layer from the bottom ribbon - applies the operation
Select a further shape - adds to the operation without removing first 2
Edit: where do I confgure the settings for tabs, not their placement - though that was harder to find than I expected- but width depth and shape? found it - but if you open the add tabs dialog and click ‘Cancel’ instead of ‘Apply’ it adds them anyway?
