If you change the material, the next time you use a file that uses that material, the settings will update automatically. When you assign material settings to a cut layer, LightBurn now remembers the name of the material entry you used and keeps a link to the material entry. The material library is now more powerful thanks to a new feature we call Material Linking. Select some shapes and click one of the directional docking buttons, and LightBurn will 'dock' all your shapes together in that direction, moving them together until they touch. We've added a powerful new docking feature, which is a little like manual nesting. Important: If you save a file that was previously using Fill+Line mode, it will not load correctly in older versions of LightBurn, so please keep a copy of the old file if you want to be able to switch back. Loading designs that use the Fill+Line mode will automatically convert them to a pair of sub-layers, with a Fill followed by a Line pass. This allows for some tricky uses that we'll be covering in upcoming tutorials on our YouTube channel. Any layer can now contain up to 11 layer passes, run in order, and each sub-layer can use any of the existing options like Fill, Line or Offset Fill. We've removed the Fill+Line mode and replaced it with something much more powerful: Sub-layers.

Everyone gets a couple free weeks on us so we have a little more time to fill our documentation, website, and ordering system, as well as to gather a little more compatibility info to make sure everything is solid before we start taking your money. Note: The galvo license will not be available for purchase until July 15th.

If you have a current (not expired) license key, you will also be able to test galvo devices until July 15th without having to use a trial version. Galvo devices are enabled in the trial version. UV laser support will be added soon, along with support for BSL (SeaCad) based galvo systems.

It supports both fiber and CO2 laser sources driven by an EzCad2 supported control card, using USB to connect to your PC, Mac, or Linux system. This release of LightBurn includes support for EzCad2 based galvo controllers, more commonly referred to as 'fiber lasers'.
