    Hi everybody...this is my first post here...first of all, this is great software, and thank you Peter for making all those updates that we want.
    I tried this software yesterday for the first time, and it's great so far...I only have 1 issue.
    I was using GRBL Panel, and there was a option to change jog distance...i crashed machine this morning, because i accidentally pressed Page down, and it was set to 100mm and I pressed esc a little bit late to stop it.
    There is continuous jog which is the great feature, and with that you can jog at higher speeds, but I would like to see maybe 0.1, 0.5, 1, 10mm for incremental jog...I think that is just right, 100mm is just too much.
    Even for inch users you have max 1" incremental jog, which is ~25,4mm, so even if you crash your machine, it will stop pretty fast.
    Sorry for my bad english. :)

    Inch mode used to be 10". It was recently changed to allow for .001" so 10" got the boot to make room for it.

    100mm is not too much when you have a large machine like the 1510s and 1515.

    I wrote a javascript macro to hide the Z jog buttons when 100mm is selected so I wouldnt crash Z. But doest work with keyboard shortcuts. Perhaps I should revisit that.

    Thanks for your reply, I didn't spot the wizard I think the information in your post will help me.
    Kevin.

    Has anyone had any issues using the Metric VCarve Pro Post Processor? I added it to the Vectric Photo Print and when I initialize it on my Blackbox Controller the Spindle Raises Upwards about 20 mm and then I get an Error #9. Also when I attempt to run the Probing routine I get the same error. It proceeds in a downward motion approximately 20 mm and it gets within 5 mm of the Custom 1.5mm Z-Touch Plate and throws up another Error #9.

    Yeah, i know, but I also have 1000x1000 machine, and I think that 100mm travel is too much...you have continuous jog for that which is much better. :)
    This software is perfect for now except that thing :D

    Error 9 usually comes after some alarm. Screenshot the whole error, theres extra details on that screen that will help you trace root cause. Also, include the sample gcode file :)

    So just curious...the Changelog on the Download page shows current version as 1.0.298 while the download button for both Mac and Windows links to version 1.0.297. Am I going to get an update notice the first time I run this downloaded version?

    Changelog is sometimes a couple hours or a day or two ahead of releases (beta testing before wide rollout)

    v1.0.298 was just proofed out today, will be probably be officially released by end of the day

    And yes, it will update itself

    The error message that I am getting every time that I can't figure out is this one.

    Error 9: Gcode locked out during alarm or Jog State (G1Z0.397) This error may just be a symptom of an earlier event.
    Alarm 2: Gcode target exceeds machine travel. Machine position safely retained alarm may be unlocked.

    The offending file is included.

    Means the job you are trying to run, is 'larger' than what you told Grbl the machine is (relative to where it has to move, could be small, but off to the side, and thus will exceed the specified envelope) : See Max Travel in Grbl Settings: gnea/grbl

    Then ensure you have the machined homed correctly - so it knows where those bounds are relative to where it is now. Finally, generate a job that fits within that build volume - and zero'ed such that the job can execute without exceeding those boundaries

    The job is about 80*80*10mm - i doubt your Max Travel is set smaller than that, so
    - forgot to Home
    - forgot to Zero in the center of the stock as CAM'ed up


    Alternatively, turn off Soft Limits until you understand machine coordinates better

    That's what makes no sense as Max Travel on X is 720mm, Y is 320mm and Z is 60mm and the project is supposed to be 154.6mm on X and Y with a thickness of 4.5mm. And I Homed my machine before every setup.

    Unless homing is setup incorrectly... or you forgot to zero in the right spot, hover over DROs to see machine coordinates

    I was finally able to get it to work correctly. Seems I for got to Zero the DRO's on X and Y. The Probing of Z worked great, the only problem I ran into was that I forgot once again to GoToZero X,Y and Z.
