I'm a little confused and would like some clarification.
I thought that soft limits were used to limit the machine's travel prior to hitting the limit switch.
So I set my machine all the way forward and to the left and the z axis to the top.
I zero'd out the machine cords.
x/y soft limits to min0 max200.
z soft limit to max0 min-250.
Now when I jog the machine back and forth the machine stops as expected.
However...
When I flip over to the other cord system and zero out the cords to make a part.
The softlimits appear to be enforce based on these cords, not the machine cords.
I.e. I center the endmill in the center of the table then zero the non-machine cords.
I can't move the machine to the left... because the limit is hit.
Anyway, just looking for a little input. I expected the softlimits to be enforced on the machine cords. Not the current g-code cords.
Thanks
