Position panel

Position panel can display four different types of position coordinates.

Each is located under separate position panel tab: Work, Machine, Operator, G-Code.

This tab displays work position coordinates of machine.

User can set new Work/Coordinate System position value by double clicking on the axis position value of Work tab.
To Value… insert field will appear where user can set new work position value.

User can set new Work zero position value also by clicking on the axis zero button.

Work Tab will display also Machine coordinates in the same row

These can also be achieved using a right mouse click on the position value, where user can select either
Work Position/Axis To Zero, Work Position/To Value or Panel/Show Double Value.

This tab displays machine position coordinates of machine

User can set new Machine position value by double clicking on the axis position value of Machine tab.
To Value… insert field will appear.

User can set new Machine zero position value by clicking on the axis zero button.

These can also be achieved using a right mouse click on the position value, where user can select either
Work Position/Axis To Zero or Work Position/To Value.

This tab displays operator position coordinates.

The idea behind this position readout is that user can set its value without any effect on the work offset value.

Think of it as a digital caliper where user can set its origin zero value and use it to measure distances of machine motion.

First (red) values represent axis motion distances, while second (blue) values represent Distance To Go. Value displayed is the remaining distance of current motion move.

This tab displays position coordinates of selected g-code line. These values are relative to machine position.
