Title: G Code to reset origin x0 y0 after a move and then repeat this again
Post by: Plasmakid16 on January 26, 2024, 07:56:23 PM

Using my plasma table & Mach 3 I want to burn out a hole that uses x0, y0, i and j to describe the circle to be cut. I then want to move say 2 inches in the X axis direction and then repeat the hole cut but want to be able reset the x0 & y0 origin for that new position so I don't have keep changing the i & j values if I want to keep moving to subsequent hole locations. What I have been doing is manually moving to the next location and manually resetting the x0, y0 origin for each hole. I want to be able to program this into the code to make the operation seamless. Any help would be great!

This will work! Thanks for the information. Always seems simple once you know how.
