On a Mill setup, touch-off only affects the Z axis. You will need to

It works for all 4 configured axis's here.
I assume you still have to do each axis separate, that's what I have to
do it seems.

Hello,
this is probably a rookie question, but sometime when I do a "Touch
Off", the Z-position indeed becomes 0, but the X and Y are not.
Then in teh axis program, it will still go to the "first" spot where
it needs to start milling, and in the drawing it fllows the correct
lines/pattern, but since the tuch off wasn't in the origin (0, 0,
0) on the actual workpiece/part the machining is off (and
consequently goes out of the material, and starts milling air at
some point.
I am wondering why that happens? Is that a mistake I sometimes
make in Freecad, or is that something I do wrong touching off? (I am
fairly sure it is not a bug).
How can I make sure that I am actually touching off at (0, 0, 0) ?
thanks,
Ron
