    Hi guys.
    I’m sure this is user error.

    I spent all day yesterday uploading designs, and cutting no issues at all. This morning I have uploaded a new design from vcarve, zero'd the CNC, bottom left corner, imported g code but the small cut path picture you get on the bottom of Openbuilds controller shows the piece being to the left of agreed y axis? I have checked my vcarve tool path drawing, checked workpiece size, reset machine, re zero’d several times, re uploaded g code, yet it still wants to cut the left of the workpiece.

    it also shows as cutting quite far away from x axis, whereas the design comes quite close to bottom of workpiece?

    I’m sure I’m doing something stupid, but I can’t think what?

    Screenshot of Openbuilds controller toolpath, and screenshot of vcarve toolpaths.

    Fixed it, sorry to have wasted your time. Accidentally turned on ‘offset’ on v carve. All now working well.
