Actually I should have said press the "GOTO XY 0" button on the VCP

Where is that go to button on the VCP? I don’t have it or maybe I need to create one?

Yep, no need for a cycle start or MDI. Just Alt 1,2,3, etc. and "GOTO XY 0" button. You can also set up a button on the MPG to use do the same with a simple macro.

Scott,
I do not see the GOTO button you guys are talking about. See the screenshot attached.
Thanks!

Yeah, you're using the mill version. The router version has it, but you can just add it yourself. The button may already be in your resources/vcp/buttons folder

Re: How can I create work offsets or work stations?
I guess the million dollar question is should I be using the router version instead for the type of CNC I have? If I need to use the router version how do I change to that version without loosing all my settings?
If that’s ok to stick to this version how do I add the button then?

Re: How can I create work offsets or work stations?
You can just use "mill" and edit the VCP as needed. They're the same under the hood.
