Arrange Toolbars

The Arrange Toolbars each contain a selection of tools found in the Arrange menu, that are broadly used for positioning objects.

The toolbars come in a long version, for high-resolution screens, and a shorter one, with sub-menus to fit on smaller screens.

Accessing the Arrange Toolbars¶

The Arrange Toolbar is located near the center of the top toolbar in LightBurn by default, to the right of the Main Toolbar.

If you have closed the Arrange Toolbar, go to Window → Arrange to re-enable it.

To restore it and all other toolbars and windows to their default positions, go to Window → Reset to Default Layout.

To enable the Arrange (long) Toolbar, go to Window → Arrange (long).

Tip

The layout of LightBurn is highly customizable. For more information on enabling and disabling windows and toolbars, or rearranging the default layout, see Customizing the LightBurn Window.

Click any button in the images below to jump to information on that tool, or scroll down for a list of options and descriptions.

Group and Ungroup ¶

Combines multiple objects into a single entity, allowing you to move, resize, and manipulate them as though they were one object.

See Grouping for more information.

Flip or Mirror ¶

Flips objects across their vertical or horizontal centers, or a custom-selected line.

See Mirror Tools for more information.

Align ¶

Repositions multiple objects in relation to the last object selected, according to their edges or centers.

See Align for more information.

Make Same Width or Height ¶

Resizes the selected object to match the width or height of the last object selected.

See Make Same Width or Height for more information.

Distribute ¶

Evenly spaces objects either vertically or horizontally, spaced from their centers or edges.

See Distribute for more information.

Move Selected Objects ¶

Moves objects to a corner, midpoint, or center of your Workspace. If you have a Gantry style laser, it can also move selected objects to the last reported position of your laser head.

See Move Selected Objects for more information.

This button opens a dropdown menu containing all the Move Selected Objects and Move Laser to Selection options.
