    When setting up for gcode the box shows 1o66.80mm for the X and 558.80mm for the Y. I need to change that around as I am going to cut some long pieces which will not fit in the X distance. Can someone suggest how to change them around?

    To change the numbers in the sketchucam window, click the x or y block clean the number out and type your new number in the block.

    The big blue question mark will take you to the manual. You should really read it to understand how to use Sketchucam.

    You just type what you want in the edit boxes.
    Also, you can change the defaults that will be used for new drawings by using the dialog at
    Tools|PhlatBoys|Options|MachineOptions

    Hit the big blue question mark in the toolbar, then in the right hand side menu click 'Machine Options' under the 'Change default options' section and you will see this:
