On an old Bandit controller I use relative positioning to make multiple parts on a sheet. If I had multiple fixtures, so that I could have a relative offset to the fixture, and then within that fixture a relative offset for doing multiple parts on the same stock, it would not be a big deal IF... it was clearly documented how to do that. That way I could do multiple parts in absolute positioning, which would make my position in the part easier to read.
Full Disclosure: I have not used offsets in LinuxCNC yet. (except where one got set without me knowing it, and I had to zero it out to get my desired result.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
