Center and Arrange not centering

Hello!

Seems when I hit "Center and Arrange", it puts the items at the front of the build plate and so far forward that a skirt would print off of the build plate. It USED to center in the build plate but I don't know why it suddenly decided to do this. I am guessing somehow I changed a setting, but not sure what one that would be. Anyone else run into this?

Thanks!

Re: Center and Arrange not centering

Is it visually showing in the center, but generating the gcode not exactly in the center? This could be the g-code offset feature. If it's not actually centering the part correctly, I'm not 100% sure what that could be, but you could try a Help > Reset All Settings and see if that fixes your issue!

Re: Center and Arrange not centering

Have a look to the Model Settings (dobble-click on the object) and there to Object Size Dimensions.

If this values are greather than the real objekt, there ist a rest of construction (perhaps only a little point ...) in the orbit. Creating the STL-file, both parts will be calculate as an one solide object. Opening in S3D your main-object will be shown out of center of the fictive printtable.
