Actually the zero points of the work offsets do not need to be within the work envelope. A lathe setup guy pissed me off one time, the next program he got had the work offset zero point about 25 feet outside the machine. He was looking at X,Z numbers around 300" and scratching his head, made no difference to the machine. __________ Andre' B.
