If you mean finding the center of a piece.
Zero the DRO on side and move to the other side then type /2 in the DRO.

I've been searching for days now and can't seem to find it. How do I divide work offset by 2 to find the center? I can find all kinds of posts saying that pathpilot can do it, but they are all why can't XYZ software divide by 2 like pathpilot does. walking over to my toolbox for a calculator seems dumb for such a trivial thing that it should be able to do and to top it off I just ruined a part by typing it in wrong. Thanks

Actually, even if the entire box is highlighted, you can still type /2 and hit enter and it works !
I believe this is a generalizable option; that is, one can add, subtract, multiply, divide by using the correct symbol and any number.
