Some users, particularly those with Ruida controllers, experienced "Transfer failed" errors on large projects, often linked to communication timeouts.
Sub-layers can be cloned, renamed, and individually toggled on or off.
The update reinforced the need to ensure that SVG import DPI matches the design template (e.g., 72 or 96 DPI) to avoid scaling issues. 4. Technical Considerations for 1.3.01
Users have noted that excessive overscan or overly high DPI settings can exacerbate freezing issues during complex, high-speed jobs.
If the laser hangs during long jobs, disabling USB selective suspend in Windows power settings and toggling "Enable DTR Signal" in Device Settings has been the recommended fix.
The "Line and Fill" mode options were re-organized in this version, with discussions noting that documentation was updated to reflect this change.
The headline feature is the introduction of a tab system within the cut settings, allowing users to add multiple sub-layers to a single main layer. This is crucial for complex projects requiring different actions (e.g., cut, 45-degree fill, -45-degree fill) on the same vector without creating multiple color-coded layers.
LightBurn 1.3.01 stands as a pivotal update in the development of the premier laser cutting and engraving software, focusing heavily on enhancing workflow efficiency for professional users and refining support for advanced hardware. Released in late 2022, this version introduced key structural changes to layering and, importantly for power users, deeper integration with galvo laser systems.
