Yeah like I say, to zero out the Zwork coords at present location would be confusing, and doesn't actually resolve much.
I'm not familiar with the internally defined parameters. So #[5203 + [10 * #5220] is how you get the work offset of the current coord system? Wacky... there's no "offset of present coord system"? That's a strangely convoluted way to access the single most straightforward parameter there is, used by almost all moves.

How can I make this "probe to a fixed > machine coord point"? That's annoying :-) (and G53 was going to be my first suggestion). One way that comes to mind (and it is very likely that someone else has a better idea) would be to zero out the Z offset, do the probe, then put it back. ; Get the current Z offset, it's lucky that #params can be computed #1 = #[5203 + [10 * #5220] G10 L2 P0 Z0 G38.2 F100000 Z-200 G38.3 F10 Z0 G10 L2 P0 Z#1 -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
