Your gcode, or something else, may be clearing that G92 offset. Putting G92.3 at the beginning of your gcode may fix it. But for a better answer keep reading: > G10 L2 P1 X0 Y0 (from the AXIS console) > with a G54 in the program. Same thing happens. G10 doesn't work that way (relative to the current position). It is relative to machine coordinates so when you do this, you're actually removing any work offset. In AXIS, don't use MDI for this. Just pick X, push the Offset or "Touch off" button, set it to the number you want (zero in your case), do the same for Y. Older versions of AXIS have an Offset button that sets the origin to zero; newer have Touch Off, which prompts for a value (and the default is zero). > I'm sure that I'm missing something pretty basic, but what? See "A typical session with AXIS" and the documentation for Touch Off in the "The Axis group" section of the docs: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.1/html/gui/axis/index.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
