Im trying to create a USER MACRO
very simple i think
I moved my tool to where i want to it to rapid to. get the xyz stats from left side of screen
add a new macro, 1 line, G0 x21.098 y-3.400 f 200
when i execute the macro it goes to a different location
Try
G53 G0 x21.098 y-3.400 f 200
The G53 puts it in machine coordinates, not work coordinates
this did not work for me, it sent the spindle near the home, which is about where i told it to go, right. my issue then becomes seeing the coordinates relative to the machine vs work. I used the coordinates(system) that I see available on the screen. this seems to be out of my depth but im a quick learner once i know what the lesson is.
EDIT - Are you using Carbide Motion? If not, then this advice doesn’t apply, sorry.
By default, the co-ords shown are the Workpiece co-ords, which are relative to the Zeros that you set.
To see the Machine Co-Ords, click on the text ‘Position’. It should change to the Machine Co-Ords.
Once you have those co-ords, you can easily create a Quick Action to move to that location.
HOWEVER, rather than doing all this manually, the Quick Actions dialog can automatically create a Quick Action to go to the current position. I don’t have CM open in front of me, but it should be pretty obvious.
