Well I had a problem like this (Ubuntu Dapper EMC 2.0.5 off Live CD). Actually I was using the Axis Touch feature to set work offsets but G10 must be same thing. My problem was that I was using the Sample Configs. They are in a protected folder so the parameter file cannot be updated to reflect the offsets. I copied a config to /home/john/emc2/configs/ and ran with it without problems (well actually I think the toolpath plot was funny - it seems to be an absolute). Not sure why the G92 method failed. I thought that worked for me - but cannot be sure. John Prentice ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
