    Default How is the offsets page supposed to work?

    I am guessing I can zero the machine in machine coordinates, go to the offsets page, and click on "Save Offsets", for instance in the G54 page.
    now let's say I go zero somewhere else on the table, how do I call up G54?

    You can also do it in the 3D environment sir 90% of my CAM work is on the 3D environment, I only use a CAM software just for dictation on which one to cut first and so on and so forth, honestly I really dont know what is a G numbers? but I can use a CNC with precision and accuracy and staright to the point CAM work. so I guess this is mathermatics again, different solution but same answer.

    If you haven't changed coordinate systems, you'll already be in G54, as it's the default offset. If you want to change offsets, just click the appropriate button on the Run screen (G54-G59).
