You  can set the rotation of the object wit a G68 and if you need to move the 0,0 position you can jog to that position and type in Zero into each DRO. after you ahve done that if you regen the toolpath you should see where on the part you are. I think you are asking to see a small dot on the screen to show where the zero zero of the file is and as that is a good idea you will not see it in Mach3 but you may see that in Quantum

The taper thing is reported and we will see if that cvan be fixed... it is a bit harder then you think because Mach3 is checking to see that T is an int type to tool change and so on..


The wizard is OLD and I was in hopes someone would make one that looks better I can add it but it will need to be in about a week or so because I am flying out for a week.

Thanks

You need to set the Zero point first... Then you can set the rotation. The math to find the zero point is not done in the wizard

I have not had time to go back and add the math that is needed

Thanks

To home both at the same time you need to change the code of the Ref to the following

Refcombination(9)

The vlaue that you pass is done by adding the following
x=1
y=2
z=4
a=8
b=16
c=32

So as you can see in my example I am Refing the X and A at the same time

Hopet hat helps

The CNC Teknix amps sound nice.. I helped put them on a lathe and they are very happy with them..

But in the end the G320's are half the price!
