Select Zero [Axis].
Figure 8-14: Work Offset DRO fields.
To change work offsets:
1. On the Main tab, in theMDILine DROfield, type the
new work offset to activate (for example, G55). Then
select the Enter key.
2. The new work offset displays in the following locations
in the PathPilot interface:
l The Status read-only DROfield.
l Above the Work Offset DRO fields.
Figure 8-15: Work offset indicated in the PathPilot
interface.
Note: The values in the Work Offset
DROfields update to indicate the new
location of each axis in the new work offset.
For more information on using work offsets, see "About Work
Offsets" (page188).
8.8.1 About Work Offsets
Work offsets allow you to think in terms of X, Y, and Z
coordinates with respect to the part, rather than thinking of
them with respect to the machine position. This means that
you can jog the machine to an arbitrary location (like the end
of a workpiece) and call that location zero.
You can save up to 500 work offsets in PathPilot. The naming
structure varies based on the offset number, as detailed in the
following table.

8.9.1 About Coolant
In the PathPilot interface, the Coolant button controls the
machine's coolant pump power outlet. The Coolant button’s
light shows the current state of the outlet: the light is on when
the outlet has power; the light is off when the outlet does not
have power.
