Keep G55...+ offsets

Postby Mark81 » Wed Sep 04, 2019 9:07 am

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm using the offset coordinates correctly.
Say I'm working with G54. I set the zero piece (X, Y, Z).
Then I set G55 and G56 offsets (X, Y) from pre-defined distances and when needed I can change the coordinates just issuing G54, G55 or G56. Great!

Now say I come back to G54 and set the zero (X, Y) in another position. I would like the G55 and G56 offsets don't change.
I mean, if in G55 X = 10, wherever I put my G54 X = 0, in G55 it should always be equal to X = 10.

How to achieve this?
I'm afraid I cannot use G52 (temporary offset) because I need multiple offsets to call several times during the same job.

G54-G59 all work independently on mine.

You could write a macro that would read the offsets, and change them accordingly. It could be called from a button.
