LXBeams/LXFree (OS X) Support: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) This FAQ page is devoted to Frequently Asked Questions about LXFree/LXBeams. Example files showing various light plots created with LXSeries applications. LXFree is an application for drawing light plots and generating paperwork. LXFree combines drawing a light plot with editing information associated with graphic objects in the drawing. LXFree produces reports by linking the graphics, attached data, and additional databases related to the properties of these objects. Skyline College Bookstore, your 1 stop shop for all your needs at Skyline College. I haven't come across ready-to-use libraries for LXFree online, unfortunately. If you purchase the pro series though it comes with a symbol editor which would allow you to create your own symbols (as well as some rendering capabilities and other perks).
