Re: Home a single axis
F3 MDI and type in:
M92/X ; Move to X+ limit switch
OR
M91/X ; Move to X-limit switch
AND
M26/X ; zero home position.
Replace X in the above commands with the axis you wish to home. M92/91 commands move at the slow jog speed so you may want to position the axis close to the home position first.
ALT-D selects MCS, ALT-n selects WCSn.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Re: Home a single axis
Alt-D switches the DRO display back and forth between Machine coordinates and local coordinates in the currently-selected WCS.
Alt-n changes the currently-selected WCS (and therefore changes the DRO display as well, if the DRO is showing local coordinates and not Machine coordinates).
