Hi all, I'm trying to use coordinate offsets for a really simple operation and so far I've not been able to get it to work- I'd really appreciate a hint.
What I'd like to be able to do is: 1. cut a certain part from a sheet of stock 2. jog the spindle over to a new X,Y 3. enter g-code to shift the origin to the new location 4. re-run the program, cutting the same part again 5. repeat as necessary No doubt this is exactly what coordinate offset is for (!) but here's what I've tried that DOESN'T work: G92 X0 Y0 (spindle at the new origin) When I run the program again it recalculates all the coordinates so that the tool retraces its previous path. G10 L2 P1 X0 Y0 (from the AXIS console) with a G54 in the program. Same thing happens. I'm sure that I'm missing something pretty basic, but what? thanks, Patrick ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
