My Laser is not receiving the correct placement when sent from RDWorks

[Ken Van Etten]

I have recently installed RDWorks to do some testing and it's not going great.

When I send my job (Through Ethernet) to my laser it always wants to start the job on the upper right hand corner. This happens no matter where I place the job in RDWorks.

It even tries to run the job at the very edge of my usable area.

It shows the right bed size in the settings and I have the orientation set to the upper right hand corner as is required for my laser.

I did a search and I am not seeing any posts related to this.

I'm hoping someone could point me to something that I overlooked because I am at my wit's end

When you turn on the laser does it home correctly? (Computer off)
You must define where the laser head will start the burn in RDWorks…it is a setting that must be selected.
We have a revised user manual that you may to be of great use…..without regard to using RDWorks or Lightburn.

See below. There are several options for where the job will start (see green arrow).

Also be aware of the two checkboxes I've circled. You probably want both of them UN-checked (unlike my screenshot). See The Manual for definitions of these checkboxes and of the menu selections under the green arrow.

Thank you. I have it set to upper right hand corner. My laser homes perfectly and works with Lightburn. I'm pretty certain I have it set to current position in the settings shown above but I'll have to verify when I am in my shop again. Also those two boxes are unchecked.

In RDWorks ther is. Screen in the config that define where the laser homes..I will post a screen shot when I am at the machine tomorrow
