LightBurn Quick Tips: Corner Radius

This quick tips discusses options within LightBurn for setting corner radius to shapes using both the Shape Properties and the Radius tool.

LightBurn is layout, editing, and control software for your laser cutter.

Hi Carl, thanks for the video.
Question since I’m stuck.
I make a square or rectangle, I click the radius button, keep it on 15.0, I move my cursor onto the corner of the box and it doesn’t change or let me click the corner.
Not sure why, so I’m stuck at 3:23, lol.
(Lightburn 1.1.04, windows)

Edit: figured it out!
Squares that are too small can’t since the radius wants to curve past the other point.
Work on a bigger square then shrink later I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Now to finish the video

Good vid, I think you can do a simple rectangle or square radius on all 4 corners using the offset tool and then resize the shape back to the original measurements, seems to work as I checked it recently. its faster this way using shape properties though.

Interesting, but can you do negative radius from the button on the left, on the hexagon for example, like you did on the rectangle?

How can I make a an infinite symbol but have the center of the Infiniti symbol where they meet become a radius and not a 90 angle?

If you put in a negative number will the radius invert like in the shape properties? Thanks for the video. Jason

If I import a vector file, did lightburn convert the dxf to something? it won’t let me add a radius

So, I’m using Lightburn 0.9.20. Shape properties does not give me that option anymore.

When I do this i get a two headed red arrow. Won't radius it. ???

Trying to create negative corner radius on a rectangle 2.25” x 1”, but the shape properties has a minimum radius of .500”, am I missing something, tried typing in smaller radius and nope, won’t work

I have version 1.5.01 they still have not fix this thing too many can't use the tool here and here

[wizzywilson]

You can do this with the mouse, I just randomly did this but can't work out how I did it lol

When i import 2 SVG rectangles with rounded corners from Inkscape and i change the size of both at the same time the radii are not the same. Is there any option for this?
