Displayed tool movement area does not match work area (Autolevel Issue) #1214

Closed steppel closed 5 years ago

Hi,

I'm super new and went through everything I could find here and google to address the issue. I'm out of ideas and tutorials now. The tool head is displayed and is moving only in a fraction of the work area. So autolevel writes all the values almost on one point. I created the code files with flatcam and without autolevel all dimension match and the board is milled. I can set the dimension in the Probe section and I run everything. The only problem as mentioned is the displayed virtual tool does not move over the whole object in bcnc , it stays pretty close to xy in a tiny square. I tried to find setting where I could possibly set that but no luck. Please have a look at the screenshots. My concern is that the autolevel data is incorrect since it looks like it's not the same dimension as the real object.

Ok after hours and hours I figured that $13=1 was set. I set everything at the beginning to millimeter as well as $13 .. but looks like that was never written. setting 13 to 0 (so report in mm) fixed it. Hope that helps someone with the same issue
