I NEW I HAVE FOX ALIEN 4040 ENGRAFER AND LASER WHAT SETTINGS MUS I DO FOR LASER IS A 20W FOX ALIEN

You are probably not going to get a satisfactory answer to your question. For one thing, you've given us very little to go on, as you haven't described what you're actually trying to do. For another, settings are different for each individual laser, not just each brand or wattage. Settings can really only be truly determined by trial and error and running test patterns on each and every different type of material you are trying to use.

I looked on FAQ but didn't see this question. I have downloaded the "Lightburn Cut & Engrave Settings (C02 Lasers)" and have tried several ways to open the .clb file to be able to load it in my Lightburn Art file. Can you explain how I open the file and do this? Thank you.

Bob, you load the clb... not open it.

It's a Materials Library file - .clb
Art Library files are also loaded.. not opened... - .lbart


Go to the (Materials) Library Window - Find the Load Button under Library. Click. Choose the (Materials) Library file you want to load (the one you mentioned above).

Voila!

Thanks for the responses but when I open Lightburn and click load, go to my Lightburn folder and open the Arts file, the only files it lets me download are .lbart files. I have tried to click the down arrow in the lower right-hand box for files and it only shows .lbart file there are no other choices to download. Looking at Rick's video this might be my computer. My computer isn't a year old and it's a Dell gaming computer because I wanted the speed. Any suggestion on what I need to do?

There are 2 different libraries - Materials library and the Art library.
Materials library uses .clb file extension
Art library uses .lbart file extension.
They are not compatible with each other.

THANK YOU EVERYONE for you patients and help. I finally got it. I had to use the "Library" fold and it downloaded.
