I use the alignment tools quite a lot. I’m often aligning the initial or outside shape to the center of the workpiece. The only way I’ve found to align to the center is to draw another shape (often on the T1 or T2 layer) around the edge of the workpiece and then aligning to that.
Am I missing an align-to-workpiece option somewhere (I didn’t find it in the docs)?
So I am having a few problems with Millmage and my 3018 machine, The axis all move in the correct direction. I have the origin at top left as I do not like the spindle or a rotary head in front of me as I am trying to position materials. So, other than joging the spindle to the position I want, there is no home button, other than what I created in the saved positions window.
In Millmage I have drawn a square, I have tryed the methods mentioned above and a few of my own, but the machine does not move to center of the material.
When I jog, all directions are right. the move machine selection under the arrang tab, is wrong…
Ok Joe Spanier I got my machine to line up with the material, But, The movements in the list as shown above are revered. If I want to go to upper left, the machine moves to lower right.
The jogging movements are correct.
