I have Lightburn version 1.405 using an xtool D1 pro. Everything has been working fine until today. I have been getting a message after hitting start of “Cut might be out of bounds-continue anyway? Yes?no”. I have been clicking yes and it has been working fine. Until today. I have “user origin”-“cut selected graphic”-“use selection origin” all on.
After placing laser on my start point, I select “Frame” it frames correctly. Then I select start. Instead of starting the job, the laser moves to the upper left corner, hits the limit switch and the limit alarm comes on. HELP
Where have you set the User Origin? Are you sure it’s not configured to some unexpectedly far location?
Is there a specific reason you’re using User Origin as the Start From Mode?
I have user origin center bottom.
To make sure I understand, you’ve explicitly set the origin to somewhere at center bottom?
If you switch to Absolute Coords do you continue to experience an issue?
I have never used absolute cor. Don’t know how to set it up. Is there a way to rid the Out of Bounds message? Could that be causing the problem?
It must be something to do with my project file. I loaded an old project and it works fine.
The reason you’re getting the out of bounds is because you’re asking the machine to go somewhere beyond the boundary of the machine. It will go away once you resolve the issue.
In that case look for a shape outside the work area.
If you cannot find it then upload the .lbrn file here.
It’s trivial. Switch to Absolute Coords as the Start From mode in Laser window.
However, the fact that you’re not familiar with it implies that you may not have a firm grasp of how User Origin functions which may still yet be contributing to the symptom that you’re seeing.
I’d suggest both changing to Absolute Coords and also looking for a shape outside the work area. You can easily confirm this by going to Window->Frame to Selection. Does the view shift outside the work area?
It is now working. I re-saved the file then imported it back. There must have been an unseen item off the grid and i manage to clear it. TY for your time. I would really like to rid myself of that out of bounds message tho.
The out of bounds warning keeps your laser from attempting to do something harmful. YOU told the program where the laser can work, and then you are telling the program to exceed those dimensions…
Do you just take the battery out of your smoke alarm when it chirps to tell you the battery is low? Or do you replace the battery to shut the thing up?
