Guys I’m still having problems making the ‘GO TO” button operate in a consistent manner.  I obviously don’t understand how it is supposed to work.
What I thought should happen is it would work to go to any position desired (like a G0 x?? y??).  What if tried is as follows.

Zero all axis using “GO To Z”
Press “GO TO” it starts flashing.
Input  on X axis 1.000”.
Hit enter X axis reads 0.000”
Press “GO TO” it stops flashing.
X Axis now reads 1.000”but does not move.

What am I doing wrong.
I would think is would be 

Zero all axis using “GO To Z”
Press “GO TO” it starts flashing.
Input  on X axis 1.000”.
*** Hit enter X axis reads 1.000”
Press “GO TO” it stops flashing.
*** X Axis moves to 1.000”.

Again What am I doing wrong.
feeling pretty stupid abuut now

to go is Distance to go this will tell you howmuch the axis needs to move to finish a move when you are running a program.

hope that helps

YA know i looked at that button a hundred times and always saw "go to" not "to go".
Once your rmind is made up do not try to confuse it with facts.

Now that I feel reallly stupid what are the chances of easily getting a function like I talked about.
Is there one of the wizards that will help me.  just a simple "go to" since hand cragks are hard to turn with power on the stepping motors. 

You can do that on the MDI screen, just type in G0 X2 and it will move a rapid to that position, type in  G1 X2 Y3 Z-1 F20 and it will move to that position at that feedrate etc etc etc
