I’m working in mm. I wanted to offset by 1/2 inches, so I went to the ‘Set Zero’ page, and I set my Y to -.5in. Hitting enter doesn’t accept the value, or report an error.
Could you post a screen grab of the page you’re having this difficulty on?
Screen shot added to post.
Why did you not just enter -12.7?
That’s what I did, but since there is already an expression evaluator, why not use it? That was just an example, the very next step was to offset 5.375 inches.

That’s Carbide Motion — at this time it doesn’t have the math support which Carbide Create does.
