Title: saving work offsets
Post by: birdbrain on May 14, 2008, 05:28:56 PM

Every time I start Mach3 I have to re-enter all the work and tool offsets. I put them into Mach3 with the G10 command and can use them untill I re-start Mach3. When shutting Mach3 down I always get asked if I want to save the settings, I click to save.
I'm using WinXP original version (no service packs).
Can anyone tell me how to me how to make Mach3 remember all the offsets?

Have a look at Config/General Config - botton left hand corner -

Is persistant offsets ticked - if not, tick the box and try again.

Uncheck the `Copy G54 from G59.253 on startup` Box.
This worked for me tho I`m not sure what the G59.253 is for.
