    Thanks, can the grid size be changed? The grid size relates to the working area of the machine right?

    Look under Setup-Machine Setup, the DeskCNC Setup tab.

    There are settings for X-Y-Z extents for the grid size and location, and a G20 (and G21 for mm) units display value for the grid.
