To set a work offset move to a position then press ZeroX ZeroY or Zero ALL. This sets the new work offset position as X0 Y0 (point of Origin).
ALL the G30 does is return to the machine 0,0 position. NOTHING more IF you want that position to become the new work offset you again ZeroX ZeroY to reset it.
Just as a reference I cut(plasma) every day. I never reference the machine nor do I use the limits/softlimits . You should know if the part fits the table. You have access to the XY travel extents on screen and you have a tape measure ?? IF it is really close then run the profile( outside offset) with the torch off to see IF it fits the material BEFORE you try to cut it.
I also have macros that will auto advance a repeat part either vertically or horizonally. It resets the new 0,0 to Extents(X or Y) + .250 automatically so all I do is press the V Adv or H Adv button then Start.
Just a thought(;-) TP
I simply move to the PART 0,0 set Zero all (X,Y) then CUT. When that is done move to the new PART 0,0 and repeat. Takes all the BRAIN work out of the equation (;-)
