Post mismatching x and y

Hey!

The problem I have is that when i make a drawing or vector it draws it with a curve.

The other thing is that I've measured everything twice and uploaded it to the machine. When I move it to the bottem of my page the result is that the gondola stops 2 cm above the bottom line where I sended it to.

Difference is that when I do that with the x direction, the gondola moves outside the paper! I don't get it.

Most likely this is a combined problem, please let me know how to fix this. I would be really pleased.

Thanks already!

Peter

Hello, a curved top line means either miscalibration / mismeasurement OR you're drawing in an area of the board that is simply too non-linear (like right at the top where the pivot points of the hanging cords change too much).

Miscalibration is most likely - this is the position of your home point. I would test it by moving the home point in the software up or down 1cm (but keeping the pen physically in the same place on the board) and redrawing that top line, seeing which makes a straighter line.

Without seeing the geometry of the rest of the board, it's difficult to say though.
