That's what I was expecting just the touch off took longer than the original parse so I was confused. Reading what you wrote helps me understand (it would have taken me weeks to understand the source code for that) and I am using variables though none that are system set, I set them all in the gcode file myself and manipulate with basic math. Still I now understand it has to resort all that math based on the new position.
Your suggestion of a simple part is my future plan of attack. For the time being this was the most complex .ngc I'll be running for some time. I hope to get to small production runs but only time and idea generation will tell. Thanks! Greg Jeff Epler wrote: When you touch off, AXIS regenerates the preview plot. Showing a new plot after touching off is not as simple as moving the old preview plot to a new location, because gcode can do things like switch coordinate systems during a part program (e.g., issue G55 and switch to a system not affected by the Touch Off just performed for the G54 coordinate system) or even perform "O- IF" statements based on the interpreter variable that holds the G54 coordinate offset. One trick you might employ is to load a very simple gcode file, touch off, then load the real part program once you think your offsets are right.
