This happens to me too (and then Axis will complain about an axis exceeding
it's limit) but if I reload the NGC file after touching off then Axis will
then display it in the correct location relative to the touch off origin
and everything works fine.
If someone knows a way to change this behavior
After loading a g-code file in axis gui I move the tooltip to the workpiece and
touch off with 0.
But the loaded path doesn't shift towards the tooltip. Indeed it doesn't shift
with any touch off value on any coordinate.
Should be a configuration error?

This was a bug in TRUNK but I fixed it a while back. What version

Tom,
The G53 command results in the following error:
interp_error: Can use only G5.2 or G5.3 after G5.2
Is this a bug? - There is no G5.2 or G5.3, only a G53 and the manual does
not mention any dependencies on G53.

I thought that the touch-off feature was for setting the workpiece home

Rob,
AFAIK, when resuming a program you need to do a G92.3 to "restore" the offsets
from the last G92. When the program stops running the G92 is no longer in
effect.
When use from MDI it remains in effect. Read the last paragraph in section

I know this is probably my own fault for not having limit and home switches

But I keep getting headaches from the Axis behavior of the touch off

When I move my zero position finder and then try to do a touch off with 4mm
