When you touch off, AXIS regenerates the preview plot. Showing a new plot after touching off is not as simple as moving the old preview plot to a new location, because gcode can do things like switch coordinate systems during a part program (e.g., issue G55 and switch to a system not affected by the Touch Off just performed for the G54 coordinate system) or even perform "O- IF" statements based on the interpreter variable that holds the G54 coordinate offset. One trick you might employ is to load a very simple gcode file, touch off, then load the real part program once you think your offsets are right.
