Wondering if anyone can help when in mdi I want to move to my workoffsett but machine reads in incremental in mdi not absolute?

[Riddersholm]

G90 change it to absolute and G91 to incremental. So G90 G54 should move it in absolute to your work offset.

G90 Doesn't work in mdi so I think its a parameter

3401 bits 4 (MAB) and 5 (ABS)

MAB Switching between the absolute and incremental commands in MDI
operation
0 : Performed by G90 or G91
1 : Depending on the setting of bit 5 (ABS) of parameter No.3401
ABS Program command in MDI operation
0 : Assumed as an incremental command
1 : Assumed as an absolute command

ok so changed the parameter it works but now there is no points in numbers on tool length and work offsets?

3401.4 & 5 are identical in 21iM-A and 21iM-B they should have no effect on the decimal point display in the offset pages. Did you change any other parameters?
