Jon, docs do not say anything about L word in G92 command. Is that just a small typo? And could you, please, explain, why do you switch back and forth to G55? G92 moves the origin of all coordinate systems, so it does not make much sense to me. Or did you mean G10 L2 X0 Y0 previously, which would move origin of G55 and leave G54 untouched? But then you need a P word to specify, which coordinate system should be changed. -- Viesturs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
