Soft Limit

Hello All, I hope someone can solve this problem it's confusing to a newbie like me.

I have no problem using EMC2 generally - all working as expected but today I used a tool to trace truetype fonts and convert it to gcode. The file it produced seemed okay and made it to line 1046 before this error popped up:

"exceeded soft limit. cant do that. (EMC_TRAJ_SET_TELEOP_ENABLE) in auto mode with the interpreter idle.)

The line 1046 reads G01 X[8512.00*#3+#5] Y[1003*#3+#6]

this works out to G01 X98.096 Y58.024

My X travel is 0 to 850mm and Y 0 to 230mm

Any ideas anyone or maybe suggest some pointers as to where to look i.e. which .ini files relate to this setting. Thanks ... John:blink:

Maybe your machine coordinates are not the same with your actual coordinates.
Or the soft limits are not set correctly in your INI file.
Or the limits are metric but the program uses inches

Scaling the drawing down seemed to overcome this problem. I will take your advice and check the stuff you said. Do you think it may be related to a post I recently saw that mentioned inserting a line n the ini file in the traj section NO_FORCE_HOMING=0?

Thanks
