    I have a slight problem that is going on since I got the new Xbox 32 set up and running. The grid line is suppose to be set on 1 inch dimension. when I open my gcode work file drawings they show way past the X dimension. The grid line is way off. Is there a way to reset the X grid line? This happens to all my compiled drawings. 500 + Drawings.

    Learn more How To Take Screenshot On Windows 10 | Microsoft Community Hub

    Photos of a screen are much blurier and harder to read than a proper screenshot

    Also include your Gcode for review, but from what I can make out on the provided photograph of the screen you are CAMing with a top/right origin - so dig into your CAM workflow more and set the origin correctly / move the part to the correct location within the CAD/CAM worksflow so it lines up with where you want the origin to be

    I posted this pic hope you can see it better. I think I see problem but don't know if it is what affecting the control window. In cam settings I have the work bee 1510 settings, but in the control window setting it will not let me select work bee 1510. It only gives options of Custom Machine, Open builds Acro, C-Beam Machine, Lead Machine, Mini Mill. The part shown has been previously compiled on the other black box. No problems, but when I open the files look in 3D this is what happens. If I recompile the pic in cam reload to control it loads correctly??

    Your file in CAD already is not zeroed correctly

    Can move it in CAD or CAM then re-CAM

    Did U Read What I Sent. Control window in GRBL is pulling up the wrong machine. I Have a Work bee 1510 The settings are wrong in GRBL. It is only showing Custom Machine, Acro, C-Beam, Lead Machine, Mini Mill.
    In the cam window it is showing settings for my work bee 1510.
    How do I make Grbl see the work bee settings. its not changing.

    That's the gcode. And the gcode is wrong because your CAD is already wrong. Not the machine... Not related to settings.

    Stop messing around in settings, yours was already setup with the Workbee profile. That's stored on the controller, not in software

    Workbee is a retired machine, no longer in the list of profiles. Haven't sold them in many years. We only have current active range of machines in the list. But yours is already setup so no relevance. Do remember to Backup though otherwise if you need it in future...

    Not anymore either. Also been removed so keep your already setup profile in tact
