Hi all,

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around setting my Z offsets for parts and tool lengths in the dynapath control.

If I'm reading the manual correctly, it suggests touching each tool off on the top of the part (or wherever the WCS origin will be), and then setting reference zero for the part in the jog screen using a longer reference tool whose length never changes.

I think I see how this works, but it's different than the workflow I use on my haas at work. There, I touch each tool off on a 4" block set on the table, then use one tool to touch off on the part and calculate the difference in z height for that one tool. I then enter the difference between that tool's length and the part touch-off length as my z value for G54. I don't see how to replicate this workflow on the dynapath - can anyone advise? Or is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks in advance,

Lee
