General Mach Discussion / Re: Noob problem: zero not working

Nope, still wasn't machine mode.  I had tried that, in case I was stuck on stupid.  Turns out my ignorance was worse than that...but i figured it out.  I had my control unit and mill powered down which sends an emergency stop to Mach, and so I've learned now you cannot zero any axis in that condition.  1 more lesson learned, 9999999 to go...

thanks for the suggestion, it is appreciated.

Yeah, i thought that at first too, but that's not it.  If i click on machine coord, it does come up with those x,y,z coordinates, but when i go back to the work coord, same boat.  Zero buttons not working.

So, pretty straight forward I think.  Mach demo installed and was working fine.  All of a sudden though all axis are way off and when I click on 'Zero X' for example in the program run screen, nothing happens.  If I try to manually enter '0' in the corresponding field and hit enter it just reverts back.  I've looked through the manual to try to find anything that could be causing this and have come up blank.  I'm assuming it's something simple I'm missing but I've spent a frustrating few hours trying to figure this out without luck.

Any suggestions?
