No Fit error along with Y axis

[brdone (Brent R Done)]

I have spent 2 days on this issue.

I get a no fit error message when creating an vcarve inlay. I am using Vcarve Pro 12.5 if that helps.

I have recreated the file from scratch several times and I have moved the start point from the center to the lower left corner and back. It won’t fix it. I read the postings about getting the error with the Z axis but it was not helpful. This is with the Y axis. Specifically it states when clicked on:

“Warning: The current tool path dimensions (960.62 mm) exceed axis dimensions (816 mm) by 144.62 mm.”

I am working on a Journeyman and my workpiece is 22 inch by 18 inches. The cutting area is a third of that.

What is up? I upgraded to the most recent os 1.6.4 hoping that it would help correct the issue but instead I got a new error message (see other posting) and kept the No Fit on Y message.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

this is 100% a tool packing issue. It’s not a machine issue. It’s telling you your tool path wants to cut outside of cutting area. You need to adjust it in your CAD file

Okay - and how would I do that? What do you mean by Adjust?

you’ll need to adjust in your design software (like vectric or carveco)

Help! My Toolpath says 'Under' or 'Over" (BB controllers) OR 'Soft Alarm on AXIS" (Elite controllers)! (with videos)

While this FAQ was originally wrote for the Non-Elite Machines, the same principal applies to both. Over/under on non-elite controllers and soft alarm on elite controllers mean the same thing, so the below principals apply to all machines. Many new users to the Onefinity CNC often get the machine unboxed, assembled, and moving in a few minutes without ever needing to look at instructions. But then they home the machine and are alarmed when their screen looks like this: (Left picture is non-e…

I noticed the warning message you are receiving is in metric but you’re describing your workpiece in inches.

Is there a mismatch somewhere along the way? Are your Vcarve Pro projects designed in inches? Are you using the Vcarve post processor that’s designed to create Gcode in inches?
