Title: G92 and G54-G59 Offsets in Mach3 Demo Version
Post by: Davidl2361 on January 14, 2022, 11:41:23 AM

Does anyone know if the G92 and G55-G59 fixture offsets work correctly in the Demo version of Mach3?
I can see the toolpath from the program for the various fixtures, but the tool will only follow the path in G54.
I am only a beginner to cnc G Code, but perhaps it's time for me to invest in a licenced copy. I would be grateful for any advice.
Thanks

That is a feature of Mach3, the display is messed up but the machine will be in the correct position.

This happens because the screen origin is always 0/0 and when you change fixture from G54 to G55 etc. the new origin is set to 0/0

Mach4 correctly displays the true relation between the fixture offsets.

Thank you Graham.
I really appreciate your help. Having no experience, I thought it was something I was doing wrong.
Kind regards
David
