Yes they are correct it is what the high highlighted travel on the screen when I jog that does not match my table dimensions

Thanks
What about the relationship of my table size to what is shown on the screen, when I jog the full length and width the high lighted path on the screen is about a quarter of  the table length and width shown. Bill

Hi
I have read the manual and watch the videos many times and thought I had set up my table location correct. My work surface is 24" Y and 96" X My home is the bottom Right hand corner of the table When I hit ref home The gantry moves there fine. On my screen it shows my table limits but when I load the roadrunner is shows up in the top center when I jog the full length of my table in the screen the high lite of the travel only show about a quarter length of travel in the X and the Y my soft limits are 24" x 96" . I would like to go thru and reset everything can anyone refer me to the best info in the videos or reference resource to get this correct.
Thanks  for the help
Bill

Hi
Just finished tuning my motors and setting up my homing and limits, works well. I ran the road runner sample no spindle or tool and my Z stays up through  the program and hits my limit switch half way thru, I assume because it has a raise Z g code. do I have something entered backwards for the Z command or do I need to zero the Z at a material height before starting.
Thanks Bill

Hi
Couple of questions . when I closed Mach 3 the last time after setting up my limits switches it asked me in a box"fixture save" I clicked yes . when I reopened to see if I could reset my soft limits I played around with the X and Y entries in the soft limit section and looked at the display to see if the orientation of the work area changed it did not show at all, the roadrunner came up and this time it was the full area of the display box not small like before in relation to my work area. I reset to the old numbers but it still doesn't show the work area. When I tried to reference home the Z went way out of the soft limits. this is all in the program I did not have the machine turned on. did that fixture save do something to my settings
