There's a lot more in here, so the full list of changes is shown below. Illustrator users can now set SVGs to import at 72 DPI instead of the InkScape standard of 96 DPI.Stuttering at the start of image engraving for GCode devices has been greatly reduced or eliminated.The font list in LightBurn now has 'favorite' and 'recent' fonts.This works on all controllers - GCode or DSPs. If you have a file that was stopped before it finished, you can drag the time slider in the preview window to the point where it stopped, then click the 'Start here' button to tell LightBurn to begin running the job from wherever you are in the preview. If you open the Preview window in LightBurn, you'll notice a new button: We have a video tutorial for this feature here: Re-start a job part way through Select an image and a shape (or group), right click and choose 'Apply mask to Image'. You can manipulate the mask shape and the image updates on the fly. We've added the ability to mask an image using another shape, but it's 'live'. We have a video tutorial for this here: Image Masking (live crop)

#Single line font script download#
Download some SHX fonts and tell LightBurn where to find them and they'll show up in the fonts drop down. In the settings, under File Settings, there's a new button to choose the location of your SHX fonts folder. Some SHX fonts are truly "single line" while others are more complex, but the single-line versions are perfect for when you want text, but you want it drawn quickly.

SHX fonts are quite old, and came from AutoCAD where they were originally made for plotters. The new tool layers are T1 and T2, at the end of the color palette. For example, if you often draw a frame around your design so you can center it properly, but set that layer not to output, you'd now make a tool layer set with 'Frame' enabled. They will never be sent to the laser, have no cut settings, and you can decide whether or not they are using when calculating job origin. These are layer colors that will never be sent to your laser, and are designed to be used as rulers, guides, alignment tools, paths for text, image masking, and so on. "remove overlaps" on them.This is a fairly large release, so we'll go over the big things first: Tool Layers I just used a trick I've used before on your fonts. The following tip from Davek on the CamBam Forum: When they really don't have an inside and outside loop. All the fonts areīuilt using a 100% overlap in the font design, which tricks my TrueTypeįont design program into thinking they are really looped TrueType fonts, Having them appear to be a truly single line font.
#Single line font script install#
It's kind of a double edged sword, needing to have theįonts be able to install themselves under windows as TrueType, and still Makes it come out very clean and smooth on 6061 T6 aluminum that I am IĪlso use a very small "bull nose" end mill to do the engraving. I do a lot of very small sized, 1/4 inch and less, andĪlways look at the finished cut magnified to see how clean it is. Sure what this is caused from, but it does not seem to make anyĭifference as it has no effect on the resulting G-Code.īoth ways over each of the letters, gives me a nice clean lookingįinished letter. There will be an error that says, "Error setting new poly start" not In CamBam, when you product the "G-Code" They willĪuto install, and because of the name I gave them, will appear at the Unzip them and drag andĭrop them individually into your C:\Windows\Fonts\ directory. No matter what size you engrave, even if they are 12 inches high! Your cutter will go overĮach letter twice, once in each direction, and exactly on the same path Them they will truly cut in a single line. There will not be any separation of the letter elements. I have a set of 9 fonts that behave like they are TTF butĪre truly a single line font set. I have developed and tested what i think may be the answer, at least for CamBamĮngraving. What is needed is a set of TTF type fonts that will load into the C:\windows\fonts\ directory. Single Line Stick Type TTF Fonts For CNC EngravingĪSCII Characters include all of the alphabet, upper and lower case plusĬamBam Stick Font 9 does include the missing ones above.įor quite a while I have been following the search for "Real" "Single Line Fonts" that are usable in CamBam and other CAD/CAM software.
