Title: Mach 3 Soft Limits Issue
Post by: Strangar on April 10, 2021, 03:02:34 PM
I am having issues with my Soft Limits.
My machine is capable of
     X - 101.5"
     Y - 54"
     Z - 12.5"
I have set my limits in Motor Home/Soft Limits to these values
     X - Max:101.5 - Min:0
     Y - Max: 54 - Min:0
     Z - Max: 0 - Min: -12.5

Y and Z soft limits work perfectly.

The issues is that I can turn on my Soft Limits when my X is lower than 73.63" and it works all the way up to 101.5 when shuttling. The issue is when my CNC has a X value greater than 73.63" and I turn off Soft Limits I cannot turn it back on until I am under 73.63". Also if I have a job that is larger than 73.63" I cannot run it with soft limits enabled. I have been running without soft limits for a wile and would like to get this issue resolved.

softlimits are allways based to machine coords. so Switch to achine coords to check the values.

Sorry, I guess that I did not mention that everything is in Machine Coordinates.
