Tom, The G53 command results in the following error:
interp_error: Can use only G5.2 or G5.3 after G5.2 Is this a bug? - There is no G5.2 or G5.3, only a G53 and the manual does not mention any dependencies on G53. I also read the information on G92 - it sets global offsets and affects all coordinate systems. That's why I had problems understanding the touch off ... G53 not working is too bad, but for now I'll use coordinate system 1 (G54) as absolute system. That still gives me 8 fixtures to define which should be just enough ;-) Regards, Rob On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 9:07 PM, Tom <kestrel...@yahoo.com> wrote: > In MDI: > > Move to the machine origin.
