Perhaps I can find out where the program stop button overrides the G92 and submit a patch to get rid of that. I've used G92 before but never noticed the cancelled offsets and confusing display. I did try using the touch off with G55 and that will work. Not as easy as jogging to the corner of the sheet to cut and pressing the "play" button but this should work. The big hurdle will be explaining to the operator what a G55 coordinate system is. :-( Thanks, Dave --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
