User Bundles
User Bundles simplify the process of backing up and migrating settings by bundling everything that needs to be moved into a single ".lbzip" file. The interface shows you all of the Settings, Presets, custom Hotkeys, Devices, and Libraries currently on your computer, and allows you to export or import them all in a single operation.
Grid Array Random Orientation
The new "Random orientation" switch in the Grid Array tool rotates objects in the resulting grid by a randomized amount.
Customizable Workspace Orientation
Users with GCode-based devices can now Swap X/Y output and rotate the orientation of their machine workspace. Enable this setting and select a new orientation by toggling on the "Swap X/Y output to laser" switch in the Device Settings window (Edit → Device Settings).
Other Notable Additions
Added support for GCode-based machines that work in negative coordinates, without the need to set up a workspace offset in the machine's coordinate system
New "Enable" switches for Text and Border options in the Material Test
Pressing Ctrl/⌘ enables the drag-dots for corner radius and polygon sides
Rotation can now be nudged using the "." and "," keys during Live Framing for Galvo devices
Note: Starting with the release of LightBurn 1.6, the Windows version of LightBurn is 64-bit only. Users in need of a 32-bit version should download LightBurn 1.5.06, which is the final version available for 32-bit versions of Windows.
