    Fixture Offset

    Hi - I have a dynapath20 control on a bedmill. I want to start using fixture offsets. My questions is how to set them. To set tool length offsets jog down and do a touch off with each tool then go to the tool table and touch tool calc. There doesnt seem to be a calc button for the fixture offsets and them manual is not clear about how those are set. Do i have to record the offset positions (x,y) manually in the jog/reference menu and then update the fixture table - or is there a way to do a calc for each axis? thanks in advance.

    It's all manual. Write down your positions and enter it in the Fixture Offsets
