What The????
« on: February 02, 2009, 12:15:44 AM »
I have Mach3 installed on my home laptop, for testing purposes.  I disabled all the home/limit switch inputs in Config->Ports&Pins. When I click the "Ref All Home" button, a little dialog pops up, with a title bar that says "Answer This:", the dialog says "What Are You Doing?", there's a text entry box with the number "0" pre-filled-in, and an OK button.

What the hell is that for????  Isn't there a way to clear machine coordinates with no home switches?

Never seen that, what version do you have? What screen are you using?
 Normally with no home switches set the axis with zero to machine coords when ever you press the RefAll button, presuming of course you have Auto Zero checked in Homing and limits.

The Ref All Home button on the Settings page works as it should.  The one on the Program Run page brings up the goofy dialog.

I didn't change it.  This is how it installed - v3.042.015.
