Wrong Part Size
Hello. It's my first time using the CNC12 Software and I'm having serious problem. Every job I load seems to be running measured in Feet instead of inches. How do I fix this? Thanks.

Re: Wrong Part Size
Hello and welcome to the Forum.
Sounds like an odd problem.
Can you please post a Fresh report from CNC12. The report can be created in the F8 Utility menu.
Also a look at the Gcode with this issue would be great.
Is all other motion outside of a job correct?
If you Command a G1 move in MDI does the Machine more the correct amount?

Re: Wrong Part Size
Is the report really a fresh one?
It looks like all the motor settings are still stock.
Have you set up the Wizards Configuration menu?

Re: Wrong Part Size
The only motor config I've done is axis inversion and max feed rate. Is there something else I should be doing? This is my first time so please forgive my ignornace

Re: Wrong Part Size
The last reply about motor settings prompted me to google a bit and a youtube video pointed me in the direction of tuning motor travel/steps per revolution via the config menu with a password lock of 137. It turns out the default minimum value of 1600 allowable in the cnc12 wizard which I did try changing before I posted here was about 8 times too high. Dialed in the motor rated settings and fined tuned with testing and now I'm good to go.
