Thanks again.

I am trying to go through everything on the machine and see what I am missing, as well as going and checking the model in the file I uploaded.

I must be missing something silly, but I thought they were 1.125." That's what the constraints are listed as in the underlying sketch. Though I am the first to admit that I am a complete newbie at this.

I thought I would update the thread. I figured out why I was having a dimensioning issue. It was a silly bonehead mistake: I thought the ballscrews on my machine were .2" pitch, but they are 5mm (.197") pitch. Changed the steps/inch in Mach4 to 10,140 instead of 10,000 and it works like a dream.
