To save more space, you could make the cuts at the corners, 45° to the sides of the frame. Then you would only be cutting rectangles out of the material. Should look cool after reassembly as well.
If you are cutting many different shapes, is there a way to simply reorganize them so that they are really close to each other to save space and material?
The only restrictions on the cutting tool are that it needs to be a single closed loop, and on a layer not set to fill. There's no reason it shouldn't work with something like a country outline.
What shaped would you like added? This could be a great use for the Art Library. This would allow you to import desired shapes that can then be used with just a click.
I’d suggest emailing support@lightburnsoftware.com with screen shots to show what you’re doing, and possibly the project file you’re working with so we can properly help you.
The tutorials are intended to be used as reference but we are in the process of revisiting some of the older videos. Many will be in smaller segments hopefully making them a bit easier to digest.
Your videos are perfect. To the point and demonstrate the simplest way to perform a task. Thank you!
An awesome feature in Lightburn. Faster workflow = more fun with our lasers! Thank you! 🙏
This is awesome. Love Lightburn and these quick and and helpful tips make me feel like a power user. Thanks!
Excellent tip! Thanks for continuing to make a better experience for your users!
Bloody genius and a genius piece of software...

Can I ask how would you get those 45 degree cuts in the exact centers of the bends?
Oh Thank you - Have spent ages in the past doing this.
What a great tip, thanks so much for this!
Thanks. I needed this and didn’t know how.

Great tip!
Hi there, you could still dock the shapes to reduce even more meterial and reduce probably half of the time, gr8 video mate thank you
thank you very much!
good stuff, thanks!
Thank you!
Cheers Dude! TFS, GB :)
How about irregular shapes that I would like to divide them to. For example cutting along countries on the map as whole piece doesn't fit my laser...

Am I the only that wish Lightburn had more basic shapes like XCS does?

I'm doing something wrong, when I "cut shapes" it removes the active line on both sides of the cutter shape and leaves the cutter shape

where is the laser frame rate setting 🙁
Thanks but you should slow it down a bit

THIS DOESNT SEEM TO WORK ON IMAGES.. HOW TO CUT IMAGES?
This does now work on images - which version of LightBurn are you running?
How can anybody follow you stop doing everything so fast
