General Mach Discussion / Re: z+ z- move

« on: November 05, 2009, 12:10:09 PM »

OK i allready did that but the problem is that while it is moving the z axis it does not remember the correction so then you have to correct again when you have the next z axis move for example lets say i have a cutting height of 5mm and i make a correction of a 1mm down so the z dro is reading 4mm after when you have the next g code that say g0 z5 it will go to z5 and not z4mm so the correction must be in the offset then
