I’m trying to make my first cut ever on my (new to me) Shapeoko 3 XL.
I designed some very simple text for my first try in Carbide Design.I set the cut path and looked at it and it all looked fine. I saved it and opened it up in carbide motion, everything still looking good. Initialized my machine zeroed my Z and tried to cut it. Even though it shows in the middle of the machine it tries to cut it in the right rear corner and it is trying to cut some of it outside the the cutting area. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
First, please post your C2D file here so we can look at it.
Second, make sure the X-Y Zero location in the design file matches the X-Y Zero you set on the machine. Your behavior matches what would happen if the design file had the X-Y zero at lower left, but on the machine you set it to center of stock.

Thank you! I’m sure you are absolutely right. I think I set my starting point at the front on the left and the starting point on the machine is set to the rear on the right thank you. I know I think I know what to do now appreciate the help very much!
