One of the most requested features we've received is for a way to store and organize lots of cut presets, and have a way to quickly apply them. I'm happy to announce the addition of the Library in LightBurn.
This is entirely user-generated - You set up a cut layer however you like, select it, and click the "Create new from layer" button in the Library to add it. You set a material type, thickness (if appropriate), and a short description.
Any Library setting can be applied to a cut layer by selecting the library entry, selecting the cut layer, and clicking "Assign to Layer". Settings are copied, so if you need to make edits to the setting you won't hurt the copy in your library - you can edit those independently.
We welcome your feedback. We have ideas on how to make this better, and we'd be happy to hear yours too.
