General Mach Discussion / Re: Confusion with Offsets Screen documentation

I use the same switches for home, and limit.

I wrote the original post because I was trying to learn more about how offsets work.

It doesn't seem like you can zero both the current work offset and the active work offset by just clicking or entering values in the DROs on the Offsets page.

General Mach Discussion / Confusion with Offsets Screen documentation
« on: January 22, 2015, 08:54:31 PM »
I'm looking at section 7 in Mach3Mill_1.84.pdf. In section 7.2.1, #2, it says: 
" Click the Touch button next to each of the axes in the Current Work Offset part of the screen. On the first Touch you will see that the existing coordinate of the Touched axis is put into the Part Offset DRO and the axis DRO reads zero. subsequent Touches on other axes copy the Current Coordinate to the offset and zero that axis DRO. "


My question is: what are the "touch buttons"? In the "Current Work Offset" section, I have 4 DROs, labeled "Part Offset", then "X", "Y", "Z", and "4". None of these labels are buttons.

I'm trying to set all the offsets to zero as well as set the axis DROs to zero, but I don't see an easy way to do that. What am I missing?
