    Work offset question

    I know this is a basic question but when I saved a work offset in Mach 3 and gave it a name how do I retreive it??. The work material is indexed to the table with two pins so I can do more than one run. I'm not sure the process to get back to the saved work offset whan I have changed the cordinates for something different. Any help out there.

    A more important question, is how did you give it a name?

    Work offsets are numbered, G54-G59, then G59P7 -G59P254.
    They are stored in a tanle. When you save the offset, you save the table. You can't give it a name.
