Selecting shapes outside work area

[BigPaPaXtreme (Frank Fitchner)]

When I open a project, and try to frame it, I get a “running this frame might exceed the bounds of your machine”.

If I then hit preview, it shows objects outside the workspace, usually containing QR codes.

If it’s still bothering you feel free to upload your lbrn file for further comment.

User Origin and Current Position both use a stored location for where to start the job. Absolute Coords will run it exactly as placed on the workspace. So the important question then is where is your user origin, and/or where was the laser head when you were asking it to frame in the other two settings? If your laser head was at the rear-right corner of the machine, for example, and your Job Origin was set to anywhere other than rear-right, it would fail. If you aren’t sure how those other …
