Bounds Check Error on my Walker Tray

[John610 (John Stacy)]

Hi, I created a file to cut a tray for a walker and I thought I was all set to cut until received an error message (Bounds Check) stating:
Project will hit the left of the machine (X-)
(The program zero is 195.3mm too far left.)
Project will hit the front of the machine (Y-)
(The program zero is 82.7mm too far forward.)
To resolve this error. please confirm that your program zero has been set correctly.

I went back and attempted to set the Axis’s (X, Y, & Z) however no luck. Assuming I’m not setting the Axis’s properly.

Also, my last project had an issue, thinking was similar and cut into the waste board and hit the aluminum rails as well.

Any assistance on next step to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

This is a warning as noted at:

Usually it is caused by a mismatch between job setup:

and how origin is set relative to the stock:

I find that opening the .c2d file up and drawing a box which matches the specified dimensions (draw up the cut in profile if need be) or moving the machine to the origin and then using a tape measure to measure out the dimension(s) in question will make clear where things aren’t lining up.

Your file has the origin at the center:

are you setting the origin at the lower left of the stock?

[John610 (John Stacy)]

Yes, I didn’t notice that the origin was set to the center.

[John610 (John Stacy)]

My intent was to be the lower left corner. Ugh!

Thank you! I will make that change.
