VCarve PRO trial

[u77171]

I am currently evaluating VCarve PRO and have a question. I would like to carve the BullsHead sample but the gcode it produces puts the starting point of the y axis out of bounds for my homebuilt cnc. For some reason it's putting y at 38" to start. The sign is only 12"x4.5" so my machine can handle it just not the way it is trying to start off. How can I get it to start at, for example, 2"?

Any help would be appreciated.

Well one way would be to modify the beginning of your g-code program, to move to your Y2. Then G92 Y38. Telling your machine that point is now Y38. At the end of your program cancel the G92. Not familiar V-Carve but I see no one jumped in to help. Either that or within V-carve move the drawing to coordinates that fit your machine and then output the new g-code.

Are you using the mm post, by chance?
