Really I can set any machine coords, but need to restart Emc 1. Stop emc 2. Open POSITON_FILE, set values 3. Start EMC ... Home is good idea, but it is possible to use on machine without home switchs and I am able to set only Zero coords. As I described, the reason does not use G92, but use machine coords only habit. But habit is a power! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
