Our 1290 rabbit laser is doing something unexpected starting locations and I don't know how to fix it. I think one of the students messed with the config file, but don't know where to look. I have tried shutting down and rebooting the computer and laser cutter but that won't correct the problem. The problem is no matter what we import or draw a project inside in the LaserCut 5.3, it want's to start it in the upper right corner of the laser cutter. We can have it positioned anywhere on the table and calculate the tool path, but as soon as we tell it to start/cut it will go to what I call the machine's home/datum position in the extreme upper left corner and begin there. How do I fix?

Question:

Quick Answer:

This sounds like a parameter setting of "Logic Origin". You need to cancel the logic origin. This is done inside the operator pad.
