General Mach Discussion / Re: XML change for Gecko

That opens another question that maybe should be in another thread. Regarding "but it depends on the code you are running, some will be incremental IJ some Absolute", I have had my CADCAM set to use incremental.
My normal method is to mount the material to be machined, move the router to a start position related to the material and then run the code. Would "absolute" still work in this manner?
I've been machining with the mill for 3 years with another CAM and controller that I was never happy with to begin with. I actually bought a seat for Mach back when it was Mach2. Problem was that the European design machine came with a serial interface and I couldn't use Mach until I changed the controller. The controller had a problem last month and I took that as the sign that I needed to upgrade.
