Greetings all; I had a situation where an R coordinate was apparently saved and restored after a reboot despite having the throw away instruction (PAGE 186 IN THE DOCS) in the .ini file, while carving the first back panel, which I was able to see in the backplot and cure before I used the align functions to measure the rotational offset of the workpiece and apply it as an R offset value. But it occurs to me that the align-start subroutine ought to clear that offset itself so as to have a valid starting point of zero rotation established at the first measurement, and then and only then is the correction applied by align-x or align-y to do a start from scratch correction.
So align-start gets an added G10 L2 P0 R0.00000000 as its first active command. Before it records anything. Is that sufficient, or do I also need to do a g92.1 or g92.2 to assure any and all R corrections are removed? I think the G10 L2 P0 R0.00000000 ought to be sufficient, but the docs are leaving a doubt. Thanks all.
