I apologize, this fell off my radar. I’m not sure what I’m looking at exactly, but a few observations:

1. That’s not the file you posted above
2. Are you showing a cut run and then clicking on framing? Everything happens so fast in that video and it doesn’t show the whole screen so it’s hard for me to follow what exactly is going on

I’ll try to simulate your setup this evening if time allows.

sorry Snow.

1. no tried again with a different file.
2. yes, cut, then frame. its a time lapse.

I did some testing tonight and all is good until i zero off the laser pointer.
The code i'm using for this is
G92 x0 y0/ G0 x-2 y 104/G92 x0 y0

Is this code wrong?

Also, everything is fine, until I zero on the laser pointer.

Yep, that's definitely the problem.  QtPlasmaC does not intend for G92 to be used.  In fact for the Master branch, we disabled it entirely:

Master Docs

I would recommend you use the peripheral offsets process to set up your laser pointer:

Peripheral Offsets

Then you can use the process described in the LASER section to set your origin.  The bonus is that you can use this to rotate the work coordinate system to account for a sheet of material that is not quite straight.  

LASER

Hopefully that helps get you straightened out.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Slow.

In all that reading I couldn't find how to do what I have been doing.

I have a user button that allows me to align the laser on the sheet where i want 0,0 to be. I press the button and the machine moves to this point and re-zero's the machine.

Could you guide me on an appropriate code that would work in place of "G92 x0 y0/ G0 x-2 y 104/G92 x0 y0" ?

Cheers

If you want to set X0Y0 via a user button (or MDI), you can use
Code:
G10 L20 P0 X0 Y0

I’m going to be honest, I don’t understand your workflow, or why setting up the laser offset and using the laser button won’t work for you.  

Either I’m doing a bad job of explaining or I need more info about your setup.  Perhaps a picture of your table would help?

Setting up the laser offset sets the relationship between the laser pointer and the torch, as this should never change.  Once that’s set, you will get a LASER button above the axis readouts.  You can then use
this button to set your offsets.  If you don’t want to use it to set a rotation and only X0 Y0 then you just click a few times until it says laser again.  It will then park the torch above where your laser pointer was, and set everything to 0.

What am I missing?  Help me help you :)
