I’m trying to figure out why this is happening. I initialize my Shapeoko 3. The position shows x207.500 y142.500. Z0 clicking on position it shows machine x-3 y-3 z-3. When I start a program it moves the router to the position that I set up to start cutting the job. The gcode to start the to job is G90 G21 G0X-5.744Y-5.731Z12.700. The job does start correctly. My question or problem is if I use MDI commands G90 G21 G0x0y0. The router goes to the same place it goes when I initialize. Why didn’t it go to the x0y0 position?
I have found that the MDI interface seems to do more than just send the commands. There is some (completely undocumented) "other’ going on, and that makes it very hard to understand and use.
Try putting the same code into a User Quick Action and invoke it.
Another thing to try would be to add G54 as well
G90 G21 G54 G0x0y0
