Title: Starting the programm in x0 y0
Post by: BasHIDAP on November 09, 2009, 03:44:21 PM: How is it possible that I have to start my NC code from the working aerea x0 y0 point otherwise it is starts on a wrong position? Even if I start the programm with a G90 it does the same.

Post by: Hood on November 10, 2009, 10:34:23 AM: It is the configuration file. If you are using the default mill profile it will be called Mach3Mill.xml and you will find it in the main Mach folder on your drive (C:\Mach3)
If you are using another profile then it will be called by the name of that profile.

Post by: Hood on November 11, 2009, 03:08:18 PM: Just run your code with your xml and I dont see any problems, just jog to where I wanted to start and zeroed the DROs then pressed Start and away it went.
