    Hi, was wondering if there is a way that Im not seeing to rotate or adjust the location of the image,

    Also was wondering about adjusting the feedrate other that just the slide that doesnt have values on it other than percentage

    You can use your mouse to move the image.

    Scroll wheel to zoom in and out
    Click and hold scroll wheel to rotate
    Click and hold left mouse button to move up, down and side to side.

    The feedrate slider adjusts the programmed feed rate of current gcode. You can either use your mouse or keyboard shortcuts to adjust. There's no manual input.

    Thanks, that works to move the whole image, but was wondering about moving the actual model within the space, and rotating it, possibly mirror.....

    CONTROL is just a sender. Shows you where your gcode lies relevative to the origin, and allows you to set the machine to the same origin.

    Actual Origins and positions are set up in CAM: See
    CAD > CAM > CONTROL: docs:software:overview [OpenBuilds Documentation]
