Working area not matching up with table area

Post by hemi43 »

I had a major computer crash, and I'm trying to get my programs running again. Les has been very helpful in getting my license reinstalled so the program is running again.
I don't want to bother him again so hopefully someone can help.
When I load a dxf in sheetcam now, the X0-Y0 of the part ends up around X4.0-Y1.0 on the machine.
I don't know how to fix this !
In the picture you will notice the red area doesn't line up with the gray area.
Thanks for any help.
Dan

Just saw this, glad you have it figured out Dan. Rather than have the post deleted would you mind posting back with your solution as it may help someone else in the future with the same issue. I too am curious. :Like
