HOW TO ASK FOR HELP
Please remember that we are not mind readers here! We cannot answer questions without knowing what laser you have and what power it is. What would a mechanic say if you called him and said, "My car is making a funny noise, what could it possibly be?"

This is what your question should look like to us:

My problem is _______________________________________________
I have a 5W Ortur LM2 Pro, S2, V10, LF
I have tried to fix it by _______________________________________
I am using Lightburn V 0.9.24 on a Windows 10 PC
The problem Lightburn file is attached to this post.

For feature questions, please go to my channel on YouTube and search for a keyword first. Chances are you'll find a video on the topic.

Lightburn software issues can/should also be posted on Lightburn Software Forums so the dev staff can answer them.

The more information you provide, the better we can help. The group experts here put a lot of time and effort into helping the members. You can spend a few minutes providing us with the information needed to help you!


OH AND PELASE start you OWN TOPIC for help! Asking questions in reply to someone else's post won't get you help unless you're having the same problem! Please don't hijack other posts!

Converting to what? It is designed for a 5W diode laser, ready to run.

How to use emojis?

Post by Sparty1965 »

I'm new to lasers and LightBurn 1.0.06. I have watched a ton of YT and finally getting started with some simple burns. I see LB has a bunch of Emojis in the Edit menu but I can't figure out how to get them into the layout window. I have the LM 2 Pro with the LU2-4-SF. Using a MacBook Pro with MacOS Monterey.

Thanks,
Larry

There are no emojis in Lightburn. I think you're talking about the icons? Click on Window --> Reset to Default Layout.

Re: Emojis in LB. When I click on Edit in LB at the bottom of the drop down it clearly says Emoji and Symbols. When I click on it multiple pages of Emojis and symbols open up but I can't figure out how to load them onto the layout screen.

Thanks

Interesting. I've got the latest (1.0.06) version and it doesn't show that.

I've never seen it before, nor heard of it.
