Example2: SetZero

See "Absolute Zero Set" on page 138 for more information on using the SetZero cycle. The work piece drawing shows holes (1 to 4) whose dimensions are shown with respect to an absolute datum with the coordinates X=0 Y=0. Holes 5 to 7 are dimensioned with respect to a relative datum with the absolute coordinates X=450, Y=750. With the SetZero cycle you can temporarily set the datum to the position X=450, Y=750, to be able to program holes 5 to 7 without further calculations.

Format: SetZero X450 Y750
