1 Intro to LED Wizard 8 Docs

Welcome to the Documentation for LED Wizard 8. On this site you will find detailed information to help you learn and operate the software.

You can access this Documentation directly from the software from any Help button or Help icon.

LED Wizard 8 is a major upgrade to the LED Wizard desktop platform. We have focused on making the software faster and better, with a streamlined workflow and many important improvements.

There is now a "Production Edition" of the software that focuses on features and capabilities related to in-shop production from LED Wizard 8 layout files. Features of the Production Edition will be highlighted in the appropriate Help topics.

If you are upgrading from LED Wizard 7.x, then you may consider starting with the New in Version 8 help topic.

If you are new to the LED Wizard platform, then you might start with LED Wizard Basics.

However you start, it is easy to navigate the Documentation:

  • Directory down the left side
  • Search field
  • Inline links

At the bottom of each topic, there is an option for you to tell us if the content was useful and enter some Comments.
