HELP! Machine has gone crazy!

Explaining my responses…I was on my phone earlier, so I was keeping it short.

The limit switches, by default, only work during initialization. Since Heather started a job, using carbide Motion, the machine must’ve initialized.

The first lines of the gcode file are (bold comments added):
G90 ;absolute positioning - normal
G20 ;Set unit to inches - normal, but I prefer metric even though I think in inches
(Toolpath 11)
M05 ;Stop spindle - normal
M0 ;T102 - This is due to the post processor chosen. @Darplifarmhouse04, you might want to choose the Shapeoko post processor, but still not the issue
M03S10000 - turn on spindle at 10k rpm
G0X70.220Y47.440Z0.300 - Rapid to, relative to XY zero, 70.22 INCHES to the right and 47.44 INCHES back!

That’s why I said (I realize unhelpfully),

Which is a fictional machine that is 8ft x 6ft.

Glad you’re sorted out!
