Man, the silence on the board the past few days is deafening... Hopefully it's because everyone's machines are working, shipping is on time and money is being made! :)
That said-- last night out of the blue my Fiber's alignment settings just, went away, for lack of a better explanation... I put a 3" x 6" tall plate on to engrave, redlighted the border, and found the red rectangle measured about 3-1/8 x over 6-1/4"...? Measured the plate, it was 3x6... checked the screen dims, 76.2 x 152.4... Checked the focus, dead to rights. I engraved the outline, perfect clone of the red outline.
I also had to correct trapezoid errors and had to re-align the red light afterward. She's perfect again, and this time I screen-shot all the numbers so if it happens again I can just re-input the corrections.
I know the settings are stored on the computer and not in the machine, found that out when changing computers... pretty sure its the ...EZCad/Param/MarkParam.lib file, but I'm not positive. There's the "use the correction file", tried that but I believe if one exists it's on the laptop, which I'm not using.
Just wondering why this happened...?
