OK so what you are saying is your X axis when referenced is 3 inch past the spindle centre so that would be minus 6 in Dia mode. You then go to 6 in Dia mode and that puts your tool on spindle centre so you zero the axis. OK so if thats correct what you want to do is this, go to homeing and limits and enter -6 for Home Off on the X. Next reference your machine and the DRO should read -6 for the X when homed and looking at machine coords. Go back to normal coords and enter -6 into the DRO. Now when you command a G0X0 your tool should be on spindle centre. I have just tried this and it seems to stop the limits warnings.
The home off is the usual way to set up the X axis to put the tool on zero when homing.
