Unlocking the Magic: Discover LightBurn's Move Increments

Introducing LightBurn

Hey there, curious minds! Let's embark on an exciting journey to uncover a hidden gem within LightBurn – a magical feature that goes by the name of Move Increments.

What Are Move Increments?

Imagine you have a magical wand (well, LightBurn in this case) that helps you move objects on your computer screen in tiny, precise steps. These steps are what we call move increments.

How Do Move Increments Work?

Understanding the Basics

Think of move increments like the secret codes to unlock precise movement in LightBurn. By pressing different combinations of keys, you can control how far your objects move with each tap of the arrow keys.

Exploring the Options

In LightBurn, you have a variety of move increments at your fingertips. Pressing the arrow keys alone moves objects by default distances. Adding Shift to the mix increases the distance, while Ctrl decreases it. And for ultra-fine adjustments, combining Ctrl and Shift gives you the smallest move increments available.

Why Should You Care About Move Increments?

Well, imagine trying to draw a straight line without a ruler. Move increments act like that ruler, helping you maintain precision and accuracy in your designs.
