Jon, Your suggestion of G92 was good.
Things are a little finicky. I cannot run already loaded program with G92. I have to say G92 from MDI, THEN I have to load (open file) the program, and then it works. But I at least found one, though cumbersome, way of doing it so I am happy. I am thinking that it is a bug in AXIS or the planner that requires me to reload a program. I made a moderately complex part prototype today (star shaped knee turner for the knee handle), in machinable wax, it was nice. It fits the knee! I also must say, that I worked with a Hurco CNC mill today. It is a nicely designed conversational control, from 15 or so years ago. But I must say that EMC is a much more powerful system. i On Sat, Feb 19, 2011 at 6:12 PM, Jon Elson <[email protected]> wrote: > Igor Chudov wrote: > > Jon, thanks.
