    All,
    I have a proverxl machine and it works in negative x and y workspace. I really want to use openbuilds gcode program and need to change the workspace so it makes my machine setup. is it possible to do that?

    on a separate note these forums are awesome

    Peter,
    thank you for the reply. I was viewing the gcode and it has all positive moves in the x and y axis for the cuts. Will try it out this afternoon.

    Machine coordinates = negative space
    Work Coordinates = a mix, based on where you setup Origin

    OpenBuildsCONTROL can be used with our controllers (docs:blackbox-x32:start [OpenBuilds Documentation] for example) or other controllers running grbl (Home · gnea/grbl Wiki) or grblHAL (grblHAL)
    Our support for 3rd party machines and controllers unfortunately does not include technical support, help and assistance. If you want to use our software, we'll allow it, but you are on your own. As for compatibility, also, if its a standard Grbl based machine it'll work - if not - consider a controller swop or sell the machine and get a LEAD Machine from OpenBuildsPartstore.com
