In the offset dialog, the zero offsets G54 to G59
(workpiece zero points) and the parking position
are managed.
Top left is the list of offsets. The currently
selected (clicked with the mouse) offset is
highlighted, and its coordinates are displayed on
the right. With the "activate" button, the selected
offset can be activated, i.e. all subsequent
programs use this offset, as long as a different
offset is activated by a G53..G59 command.
With the button "Current Position", the current position of the tool is entered in the coordinates of
the currently selected offset. This has the same effect as pressing "All Zero" ("0 XYZ") next to the
coordinate display in the main window. In other words, after the offset has been activated with the
coordinates of the current position, the coordinate display in the main window indicates the relative
position (X = 0 Y = 0 Z = 0 etc.).
Copy Offs et
The button "Current Offset" copies the coordinates of the active offset, which is marked with an
asterisk "*" in the list, into the coordinates of the just selected offset, i.e. G56 to G54 in the example
in the upper picture.
If you accidentally set an offset to incorrect coordinates, you can select "Cancel". All offsets will
then be restored as they were before the dialog was called. "Save" saves the changes.
