The Mighty Oz- I just rebuilt a post about the 'No Enough Extend Space' error and got to thinking about LB. Do you have any problem with this and the other common error messages with LB. I have always thought it related to the controller memory, but then LB should have them too. Do you have any 'Power' users who overload their files and abuse the software in the way I abuse RDworks? I always have 3 screens of RDw open on the computer on top of my laser, and they are usually pretty much maxed out. Thanks Gene

If you do not, I will add the fact to the RDworks post.

“Not enough extend space” is the controller telling you that the overscan portion of your job is going to exceed the bounds of your machine. LightBurn has no influence over those (not directly at least) nor would I want to suppress them - doing so could result in machine damage.

Frame slop is the other common one, and it means the job itself would hit the side, not the overscan part. Not sure why you’d want to suppress either one. :)

In both cases the errors were... in error. I understand what the error should be telling me, these are totally inappropriate, and moving around the RDw screen may or may not clear them, as well as saving the file, restarting the machine, or the program... completely random.
