Atomstack A70 Max won't move away from home

I hooked up everything, the machine homes fine, but if I make a small circle or square anywhere within the 30"x30" engraving space, the laser head will only frame near the bottom left corner. Otherwise, the machine will fire and cuts fine. Even if I shut down Lightburn, start with a new file, make a square, and place it in the middle of the engraving area, again, it will only frame near the homing corner on the bottom left (facing the controller). The framing seems to be in line with what I specify size-wise.

Here’s the command I ran while reading other posts. Any help is appreciated!

I imagine that you’re using current position or user origin. If you use absolute coordinates it will engrave in the location that your design sits. This should help.

Well, I feel like an idiot lol.

Thank you so much. This solved the issue!

Don’t feel dumb. Everybody learns as they go. Now you know.
