Copying settings between layers

Lesson guide

1. Extract this lesson into its own folder. Open settings-start.lzrproj. Badge starts with Line, 600 mm/min, 40% and one pass.
2. Select Sample. It uses Fill, 1200 mm/min, 25%, two passes, with a 1 mm interval. Click Copy layer settings at the top of Layers.
3. Select Badge, then click Paste layer settings. This replaces its operation settings; its name, color and artwork remain intact.
4. Check Badge now uses the copied Fill values. Change only Badge Power to 35%. Select Sample and confirm it remains at 25%.
5. Preview with Show Travel off and Go to end. Both shapes should be filled, with no duplicated or moved artwork.
6. Save a separate copy and compare with settings-finished.lzrproj.

Independent practice

Open settings-practice.lzrproj from this lesson's folder. Copy Sample settings to Badge, then change only Badge Power to 20%. Sample should remain at 30%.

• Both layers should finish with Fill, 900 mm/min, two passes and a 1.5 mm interval.
• Keep each layer's name, color and object membership. Do not move or duplicate either shape.
• Save a separate copy and compare with settings-practice-answer.lzrproj.

• Which layer should be selected when you click Paste layer settings?
• If Badge is edited after pasting, should Sample change?
• Which values must you inspect after replacing destination settings?

Explained answer

Practice answer

Sample: Fill, 900 mm/min, 30%, two passes, 1.5 mm interval. Badge: the same settings except 20% power.

Demonstration answer

Sample remains at 25%; Badge is 35%. Both use Fill, 1200 mm/min, two passes and 1 mm interval.

Copy is independent

Paste replaces operation settings on the selected destination. It does not duplicate artwork or make a live link. Check Mode, both Output controls and all values afterward.

This pack has the same generic settings filenames as the speed lesson. Keep the two packs in separate folders. Each supplied native copy has its own project identity.
