Shapeoko - XXL Can't set negative coordinates

Negative Coordinate Machine Setup

Negative Coordinate Machines If your machine uses negative coordinate space, we need to offset the origin. LightBurn wants positive workspace numbers, like this: [image] This image shows the origin at the front-left, with positive X values moving to the right, and positive Y values heading to the rear of the machine. A negative workspace system looks like this: [image] In this image, the origin is at the rear-right of the machine. The X and Y directions are the same as before, but now, to …

Thank you Rick. This has resolved my issue. I guess i ts not so much the software but the user and errors related to my specific machine.
