LightBurn Tool Layers

[SDFWA]

Note the two layer colors at the far right: T1 and T2. ------>

"There are 2 special layers at the end of the cut palette, labeled T1 and T2 . These are Tool Layers and are purely for creating non-output shapes in your designs. These layers have no cut parameters and will never be output to the laser. For example you could use them for:

• Indicating pre-determined material size and position on your machine
• Text on a Path (without the path being output)
• Image Masking"

cool. I normally just use normal layers/colors and turn the output off manually for that purpose.

But I do wonder what’s really different from turning the output off or maybe it’s just the use of common colors for these specific tasks.
