General Mach Discussion / Re: Absolute Machine Coordinates Shifting??

Suggest you post your xml file.
How does Mach3 come up with the Machine's Absolute Coordinate's upon boot up?
Go to Diagnostics after Mach opens. The table at the top of the screen shows how the current position is calculated.
Mach defaults to G54 offset on startup. Also note the current Mill> items in affect.
Depending on some settings and configuration, what you did after start up, the state of things on exit can all affect what
happens when Mach is opened. I will add that Machine Coordinate 0,0,0 is used at start up from a controlling software viewpoint as it dosen't know a practical machine reference point 0,0,0 (ie; home position / referenced) until it is defined by you in sme manner to the controller.
May want to start reading the manual,
