TP, sorry for the delay in updating the status of the my post. I already tried your suggestion and it worked. I can't thank you enough.

I can now use G68 in Mach without having to deal with the trouble of aligning the material precisely to the table's axises. What a relief!

THC 300 post processor seemed to work fine as well without any major changes. All I have done was to add Z switch offset value to mach my floating head switch offset.

You mentioned that using G31 also has problems. What kind of problems should I anticipate?

Thanks in advance...

Thanks TP...I'll certainly need your help with this setup. I"ll be back with more questions after I give it a try.

Thanks for the reply, TP. I appreciate very much. I agree. This is indeed an essential feature for plasma work. I am puzzled as to why Mach does not allow G28.1 when used in conjunction with G68. I am hoping someone can shed a light on this issue.
I will try the G31 workaround you mentioned. Hopefully it is not something that is out of my league as I am not good with dealing with post-processors. :(
Again, thanks for the help...

Hi everyone,
I would like to use G68 G-Code for a precise alignment of the materials to the X/Y axises on my plasma table  Along with G68, I also need to use 28.1 g-code which is required for IHS (Initial Height Sensing) routine in MP3000 post-processor.

The problem is that Mach3 tries to send X/Y axises to search for home switches right after the "G28.1 Z10" code is read by Mach3. This only happens while in G68 mode ("Local System Rotated" in MDI page has a value other than "0" zero) Other times G28.1 Z10 code does not cause this type of behavior and does not move X/Y axises. Is this a bug? Or is it something that I am doing wrong? 

Rotating coordinates with G68 is an essential feature for me as a Mach3 Plasma user. I deal with very large and heavy materials, some weighing more than a ton, and aligning them to the table's X/Y axises or going back and forth to Sheetcam to align the parts to the skewed material is really a big hassle.

I would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance...
