So with my previous post correcting my files issue I am able to load a burn file. Shortly after is starts it stops with this error; “Not Enough Extended Space”. I have tried 2 different files.
Any suggestions?

Well I somewhat answered my question, with a question.
I had my designs starting at top left X-0, Y-0 with a .1" inset at absolute. the two don’t seem to match. when I moved the inset to .25" it worked.
So next question, how do I get the two to get along and match at x-0,y-0 in both environments?
Thank yuo.
If the head is going to scan an object, the Ruida will apply overscan. The head has to reach speed before the lase operation.
Use the Preview screen and enable show transversal moves, this will show you in red where the head will travel.
Use of preview will save you money and time, take a few and learn how to drive it. It’s a machine emulator, it’s saved my butt a bunch of times.
Thanks, but I found my mistake. I had user defend origin set on the laser (I thought I had reset but I didn’t) and my design as absolute and at x-0, y-0. It seemed that my aboslute was outside of the user defind, so I was out of extended parameters.
I went back onto the laser and corrected 0/0 origin, and bam, everything works!
I hope my novice startup helps others. And thanks to the helpfull ideas that is getting me there.

I think you’re experiencing overscan.
If you do a scan operation, such as image or fill, it needs room to slow down, change directions and speed back up.
It will complain if the image is too close to one (usually the X axes) of the edges. Preview should show this.
Yeah, that’s one of the things I learned yesterday. Someone other also said do preview and turn on transverse I think it is. So I learned yesterday when you do preview, the red laser path has to be within the boundaries. I think that’s what you’re talking about. So yes, when I move it off the edge a little bit it corrects it.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Probably me…
Learn how preview works. It tells you where the it will lase.
It cannot tell what it’s going to do to your material.
It emulates your machines movements and shows you where it will lase along with the head movement if you enable show transversal moves. It also gives you approximate job times.
You can zoom in and out to see more detail.
It’s all a learning curve, even where I’m at, so hang in there, I’m sure you’ll do fine.
