Are those machine or relative coordinates? Currently it seems that Andy is right - you see relative (workpiece) coordinates so simply do "touch off" for Z axis. Ideally for testing purposes you might want to set workpiece and machine coordinates to be the same. You can switch Axis GUI to show either machine or relative coordinates with Shift+3 combination to see, what is the difference between them. In MDI you can also command a movement in machine coordinate system by adding G53 before G0 word. This is one more thing you can use for testing. It looks to me that there are few things for you to learn about all these various coordinate system things, so here is a link for a start: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CoordinateSystems -- Viesturs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
