That about sums it up.

G54 is set every time the fixture is set up because the fixture may be in a different place on the machine.

G52's are hard coded into the program as the parts on the fixture should/will be in the same place every time relative to the G54.

Hi M.Jonas,

the code you have written will produce 3 100mm squares at 3 different points, the points are set in the work offset table.

If the squares are in the wrong places then the work offsets are set wrong.

More information will help to solve your problem.

Graham.

How can I store the data for coordinate offset G54-59 in Mach3 ? I have to enter these data every time turn on the Mach 3 program. The tool offset page has the button to save the data but it does not work. Once I exit the mach 3 program it is gone.

Thanks for the help

On the offsets page click 'Save work offsets', then click 'Save' in the window that pops up.

If that dose not work, go to Config menu, select Fixtures..., click save.

Graham, It still does not work. I click the "save" button in the save work offset window, nothing happen. I have to click "close" to exit this window. In the Config, fixture, it will pup up the same window, off course  the "save" button is not work either. Once I exit the mach3, the data is gone. Is there anything missing in the mach3 set up ?
Thanks for your help.

Graham,
Never mind. I just found out that the G54 is the default value which can not be saved but G55 to G59 is working.
Thanks

Thanks, Happy Thanks Givening
