Title: Gcode MDI move to machine coords
Post by: Jimster on April 16, 2014, 11:22:02 AM

Guys,

I have a quick G code question for you, Can you move the machine to the machine coordinates and not the working coordintes with an MDI??

I'd like to make my machine go to x0,y0,z0 what command would I need to use?

Thanks

Jim

G53 G0 X0 Y0 Z0

Make sure the Z axis isn't going to hit anything.

G30
I think does the same thing.

G28
Will go to the values set in the G28 Home Location boxes in the Home/Soft Limits dialog.

With G28, you can actually program the rout the axis' take to get home too.
Making sure everything clears.

Thanks do I have to move x,y, then Z, or could I do?
