Hey everyone thank you so much for your feedback. I think between all the different comments, we were able to wrap our heads around what was happening with regards to Table Display, homing and soft limits. I have attached a screenshot of our new settings.The table is now behaving mostly as expected after selecting both Reversed and Home Negative for X, Y and A, and reversing the Z. We've set some pretty conservative soft limits for the time being while we experiment.
There are a couple questions outstanding now. The first is regarding the Z. I have tried to Zero the Z to Machine coordinates in our upper limit, but it will not "zero", instead displaying on the DRO where it believes it is at. When machine coordinates are not selected, we can zero the Z value, but how does this correspond to our soft limits?
The second question is regarding running Gcode. The table display shows now in correspondence to our soft limits, but when we load G code, it is still outside of the table limits and I cant figure out how to move the toolpath within those limits. I have jogged the axes around and regenerated the toolpath, but it never moves the drawing within the table limits, it always stays on the bottom left corner outside of the limits. What am I misunderstanding?
