What happened

i am familiar with CNC machine and have been using UGS on a small cncn router for months now over the past 8 yrs. I've tried the translate to zero function before and had problems with it still seeking a zero that was out of range due to the translation. some people say it's a function of machine zero vs work piece zero. I just looked at the gcode and tried to take out that move to zero and nothing seems to be working with this translate to zero function. graphically it shows it moves on the visual diagram, but other than that, it's as if nothing actually is changing to the gcode to make it work.

Is this a viable function or is only the graphic working?

thx Bryan

How to reproduce

create a box in vectric software with lower left corner at x=1 and y =1 . sve teh toolpath. import it to UGS and then trnaslate to zero so that box in theory would translate the xy 1,1 coordinates to the new xy 00 set on the machine.

Operating System

Windows 10 home

Anything else

This is relevant for me becuase I create products with multiple layers of material. I do the drawings in one file and then export the layers separately. having to shift the overlays in vectric prior to exporting is not ideal at all -- so this is a criticial feature that is needed somehow for me to doe more complex overlays.
