@@ThingsKatieMakes You're style is incredible Katie! I don't know how I didn't know about you! Great post-production work as well. I'll be binging when I get some more time...
One of the best laser tip videos I have seen. Fast and clean presentation. Professional and friendly demeanor, with great information density. I can't wait to see more Thunder and Lightburn videos.
Wow, this is amazing! I recently purchased a laser cutting machine and am currently in the trial period of LightBurn. Your tips have been incredibly helpful and exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for sharing these valuable tips in such a practical and straightforward way. Sending love from India!
Great! My first time watching your channel. I came across it today! Thank you, your delivery, timing and straight forward. Awesome. Thank you again for sharing your time, knowledge and experience.
So glad to find out about the shift than the layer to pick only that layer. That's has been so annoying to try to weed out 1 layer within 1 pile. Thank You
So many amazing tips! I only knew about the "cut selected" option, which is my favorite too, but that trick to put formulas in the dimension fields! Every program should do this! Maybe they do, I just never thought to test???
Very informative. However I select graphics and cut w/o turning off nor do I change to user origin. Stays on Absolute coordinates. So am I missing a reason to change to user origin ? Or even turn on / off. If you have selected graphics picked then it will only cut those regardless of the other layers. Only reason to turn off a layer is if you choosed all the graphic and don't want a certain layer to cut. But I could be missing the reason. Thanks for the videol
thank you ! just to double check, when using 'cut selected graphics' i don't need the 'use selection origin' do I ? if I use 'absolute coordinates', in the preview it still shows me the same this, just with a different starting/reference point
I still can't think in kilometers per hour, but over the last decade moving to Metric for measuring has made my life so much easier in hobbies, CAD design and 3D printing. also doing math in your head is WAY easier as only "experts" can do things like 5 3/16 minus 3 1/4. 😊 Glad to see Light Burn has a built in calculator and converter like most CAD does.
It's not "The English System", it's called "The Imperial System". And in England we actually use Metric anyway, we abandoned the Imperial system over 40 years ago, it's pretty much only America still stuck on the Imperial system, the rest of the world is Metric.
Meaning no disrespect mate, but England still measures distance and speed in miles/miles per hour. So while they may have switched mostly to the more enlightened system, they are still a bit ‘stuck’.
@@user-uy2nl5vp6m No disrespect taken, it's a good point. For some annoying reason which no-one here quite understands, we do still measure road distances and speed limits in miles. Everything else is metric, weights are all in Kg, volume in Litres and other distance measurements are in meters or mm. Scientific or engineering measurements are ALWAYS in metric.
@@xTheZapper My understanding from talking to friends and colleagues in England is that it's simply momentum. Too much established infrastructure and a lack of national will to undergo short term expense and inconvenience to make the change. Thinking about how hard it is to get the approx. 70 million citizens of the U.K. on board for that kind of change, imagine trying to get the 337 million citizens of the U.S. to agree to an even larger change. Just regarding roads, the U.K. has about 262,000 miles of roads, the U.S. has 4.2 million miles! We've tried, and failed miserably, I believe under President Nixon. All things being equal many trades people and machinists in the U.S. use metric and our scientific community uses it exclusively.
@@user-uy2nl5vp6m Yes. We made the switch in the 70's (I think) but I assume it was a cost saving thing to leave the roads as is rather than go out and change every sign. For weights and measures it was probably easy to just tell supermarkets to change units next time they print the labels out. Now there's way more infrastructure to change so it's not getting any cheaper. And doing that in the states would be very expensive. The US still uses imperial a lot in manufacturing, just watch any Titans of CNC video and you can see they're all in inches, although I've seen them using metric occasionally, probably for an international customer. And there was the famous NASA failure due to inches/mm confusion. Maybe the US should just do the same as us, switch to metric but leave the roads. 🙂
inches are NOT the English system, England has been using the metric system for decades. Inches are system almost unique to USA (and a couple of small countries) and really I wish people from the USA would stop using the term English for things that are just used in the USA and even not in most of America which is a continent not a country.
*Superstar in the making here!* 10 of 10! You earned a sub Katie! _Great video!_
Woah! From the OG! Thank you so much :)

You are very welcome!
Louisiana hobby guy sent me here, I do not regret it. Thank you for the tips! Look forward to seen more of your videos!!
Great! My first time watching your channel. I came across it today! Thank you, your delivery, timing and straight forward. Awesome. Thank you again for sharing your time, knowledge and experience.
The way you present the material is exactly what I've been looking for! Bravo!
I appreciate it!
Flawless tips tutorial. You know how to do it and that's a talent😊
Wow - what a compliment! Thank you
Excellent video. Very useful tips.
'Start from here' and 'Remove overlapping lines' are two features that I thought I had to live without. Huge thanks for these timesaving tips!
You got it!
So glad to find out about the shift than the layer to pick only that layer. That's has been so annoying to try to weed out 1 layer within 1 pile. Thank You
That is usually one that saves people hours!
Wow the tip about not cutting lines twice shown with the hexagon is genius. Glad to know about it
Awesome! Glad it is helpful
That was awesome! Thank you for sharing!
I'm so glad! Thank you
I didn't know about the removing overlapping lines. That is a game changer, thanks.
Love when I can share a hidden feature :)
WOW!!! I have another metour and you are even endorsed by my other mentour. Thanks for the tips.
Some I knew, some I did not know. Thanks for the tips
Curious which ones you didn’t know!
Been using light burn for a year now and a few of those I did not know. Thanks. Do more tips of.lightburn in the future.
Thanks! Definitely the plan :)
Thank you for the very useful tips.
Bloody marvellous! 👍 Thank you! 😁
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
A great video very helpful
was wondering if you do inlays in wood
and do you have video on this
thank you
phil
How do you determine if it will cut or engrave?
Line vs Fill
The bonus tip was fire!!!
Thanks!

A number of them actually do - test it out!
Ahh wow, you just taught me some great tips. Now subscribed because clwarly youre a great teacher!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Well done Katie, very professional and informative. Keep up the good work sharing.
Thanks!
Excellent tutorial of some very helpful features. Thanks!
Thanks LaserNUG - thinking we need to collaborate soon!

You are so welcome!
Some good tips, thank you 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic tips and well presented! Subscribed!
Thanks!
Awesome and thank you , subscribing after that
Whoo hoo!
Great video and amazing tips.🎉
Thanks so much!
Great tips. Thanks
Thanks!
I have the light burn and an iwecolor laser. The problem I’m having is the size on the program and the output size. It cuts too small.
Check the inputs on the files and see if you need to be set to 72dpi or 96 - that will often fix sizing issues
this was great.
Thank you!

I always use user origin so I don’t need to place in the bed based on coordinates, just based on where I navigate to.
thank you !
just to double check, when using 'cut selected graphics' i don't need the 'use selection origin' do I ? if I use 'absolute coordinates', in the preview it still shows me the same this, just with a different starting/reference point
Correct!
Awesome... thanks!
Yay! That’s a great first comment!

Exactly!
Many of your settings do not apply to diode lasers
Thanks - I don’t have any diodes in my shop so I don’t know that

Ha - got it. It definitely wasn’t the US system when we adopted it though, right?
Very helpful, thanks!
