This tool sets the Work Offset Coordinate Fixture of the machine CNC controller.

Target Work Offset Coordinates typically include: Fixtures G53 to G59. The G-Code is simply the Fixture (G53, G54, etc...). The coordinate offset fixtures represent:
*G53 -> Machine coordinate system.
*G54 -> Scratchpad coordinate system.
*G55 to G59 -> Coordinate fixtures allowing work offsets, relative to Homing switches located on the CNC machine, to be used.
*G59 allows extension from G59.1 to G59.255 on many CNC Controllers.

Description

This tool sets the Work Offset Coordinate Fixture of the machine CNC controller.

Target Work Offset Coordinates typically include: Fixtures G53 to G59. The G-Code is simply the Fixture (G53, G54, etc...). The coordinate offset fixtures represent:

  • G53 -> Machine coordinate system.
  • G54 -> Scratchpad coordinate system.
  • G55 to G59 -> Coordinate fixtures allowing work offsets, relative to Homing switches located on the CNC machine, to be used.
  • G59 allows extension from G59.1 to G59.255 on many CNC Controllers.

Usage

  1. Press the Fixture button
  2. Select the desired Work Offset Fixture from the drop-menu.

Properties

  • DataFixture: Sets the current fixture point
  • DataActive: Defines if this command is active or not when inserted into a compound
