Been using my Atomshack a5 m50 pro on my MacBook Pro for a couple of weeks now everything going smooth but tonight when I hit the frame button before I start it takes me to the home corner and makes a horrible grinding noise, which I stop before it does it now. But why is it doing this does anyone have any idea? I wasn’t messing with the settings, I’ve changed nothing since the purchase. I uninstalled/reinstalled the software, unplugged the usb, reset my laptop but still no use.
Thank you for your reply. I always home before each session and I never move it by hand and “enable out of bounds” is already enabled. I logged on this morning to see if it maybe stopped doing it but it hasn’t unfortunately.
So I just set up a standard rectangle and my job origin is always in the middle of what I’ll be working on. Instead of hitting shift+frame I hit start just to see and it says “cut might be out of bounds, continue anyway?” I hit yes and it made its way to the home position before I hit stop to avoid the awful grinding noise!
When I use absolute coords it works fine! Although so strange that for the past 2 weeks i haven’t been using it and it’s worked fine until yesterday? but problem solved for now thank you so much. I’m always engraving roughly in the same dimensions every time so this will work perfect.
