I have an autoz routine that measures the length of a mill or drill bit to precisely set the etching depth of a pcb being milled.
The typical .drill file from eagle may need 6 or 7 drills before its done. I wasn't having what I would call predictable results from using the tool length adjuster, G43.1 I think it is, so I switched to the G10 L2 P# method, since I run the top of the board stuff in G55, and the bottom of the board stuff in G56. But that isn't working all that well, and I have deduced that everytime I use it, even though I use it from the G54 environment, the resultant offsets are acting cumulative. Is there a fix for that, or do I need to first reset it to a zero offset based on the current machine's G53, then issue the command to set the Z offset from that known Z location to re- init it, then do the P1, P2 versions?
