General Mach Discussion / Re: Help please! Work is way outside of table.

SOLVED:
If anyone else is having this problem. There is a g92 000 code mastercam is producing OVERWRITING any work offsets in mach 3. Delete that line and u should be good to go

Nothing i do seems to change that g92 setting of 250,250,250. I even just now tried drawing a simple rectangle, adding an optirough toolpath and posted the gcode. STILL g92 250,250,250. I drew the rectangle with its left bottom corner on the origin.

I drew my part in solidworks, on the origin in that program and exported it to mastercam... Maybe thats why it is so far away from my WCS. I've been reading you can simply create another WCS and define its origin at your stocks corner, ive tried this and it isnt working though

Thank you craig,
I double checked my cam and the gnomon is at 000.
I'm looking at my code and one of the first lines is G92 X250. Y-250. Z250. I changed these values to 000... But i would like to know how to actually solve this problem rather than work around it... Here is a bit of the code
Code: [Select]
N100 G21
N110 G0 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90

Thank you for the warning Craig. I watched the tutorial videos on here explaining that very same thing, but I’m really at my wits end here and wanted to try everything.
Do you know if mastercam 2018 has compatibility issues with mach3?

25x25x50mm stock. 5x9x10” defined machine soft limits. I’ve tried setting mach3 native units to mm before posting the g code already.

No, you can see the stock outline there in red dashed lines. unfortunately simply translating the work +x,+y did not work, as the code is still telling my tool (table) to move outside of its defined area.

Okay, so ive taken your idea of translate in mastercam and translated the part +x and +y about 250 units... This got the part in my table, to do that i had to post the gcode to mach3 and extrapolate the coordinates from there using my machine coordinates and the given workoffsets..

This does not seem like the right (efficient way) to do this... How do i go about machining a part without having to translate the original drawing every single time?

Craig. Thanks for trying to help... I do believe i have the origin on mastercam at the corner of my stock. Here is a picture, sorry im very new to this and trying to learn, thanks for helping me.
