If you are new to LightBurn, the interface can feel overwhelming. In this video, we are stripping away the complexity to focus on the Creation Toolbar—the foundation of every project you'll build.
We’ll walk through each tool to explain its primary use case and how they work together, giving you the confidence to start creating your own laser projects from scratch. This is a high-level overview designed to get you comfortable with the layout before we dive into deeper tutorials for each tool!
🎯 What You'll Learn:
* What is the Creation Toolbar
* The Select tool: Selecting, moving, and scaling objects
* Drawing custom paths with the Draw Lines tool
* Creating rectangles, circles, polygons, and stars with the Draw Shapes tool
* The basics of Edit Nodes for fine-tuning shapes
* Cleaning up designs with the Trim tool
* Adding and formatting text with the Text Tool
* Using the Measure tool to inspect your geometry
* Adding Tabs (Bridges) to keep your parts secure during a cut
