    Hi,

    I am having a problem running the latest version of SketchUcam on a Mac OSX 10.6.7 machine with SketchUp 8.0.3161. I am working in mm. The Gcode generated has the object at about 11.3mm
    above the 0.0 coordinate. I am opening the generated gcode files with EMC2. I can't find any option
    to get the object aligned with the 0,0 point as I have moved it to in SketchUp. I have tried moving the
    object a bit and also removing the save area and adding it again etc. The Constants.rb states the defaults are 0.0 (Default_safe_origin_y = 0.0.inch).

    I can't find out why there is this difference between the position my object has in SketchUp and
    the generated Gcode. Please help.

    Kind regards,

    You'd better post the drawing and the gcode
    to analyze

    sander999,

    There is nothing wrong with your gcode. I even imported your gcode directly into sketchup and it matches perfectly.
