I have been cobbling together a materials library for my peeps here at the shop- they do not have/take the time to figure out settings so I try to make it easy for them. The RDw library I always edited with Notepad++ and then had to copy to the various different RD programs I had installed on the laserputer. I have pretty much switched over to LB and it is very pleasant to work with. I do have to go back to RDw on occasion to look at a file or check what settings I had for it. Does anyone have any tips on maintaining the LB library? Thanks Gene

The only tip I have is to save the library file to a cloud location to make it easy for any of your networked PCs with LightBurn on it to access it.

Yep- I have on a LAN and it seems to work well. I am anxiously waiting for the multiple tabs to appear as I always have 5-10 things going at a time. I tried multiple LB programs but as only one will link to the laser it does not work very well.
