Three things: You can recover an unapplied G92 offset with G92.3 You can keep the G92 from getting unapplied by using % instead of M2/M30 You can use G54 offset just as easily, or more easily, than G92 by using "Touch off" in AXIS. This is by far the best solution in my opinion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
