Arrange Toolbars

The Arrange Toolbars each contain a selection of tools commonly 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.
