## Update Work Offset

1. Select the Measure soft key from the main screen's Navigation Bar.

2. Select the Forward soft key until you get to the third page of soft keys.

3. Select the Update Work Offset soft key from the Navigation Bar. The Update Work Offset screen appears.

This screen can be used to automatically update a work offset at the end of a program or to manually update a work offset after features have been inspected.

To do this, an update work offset command needs to be added to an NC Gage program.

1. Inspect the features that will be used to update the work offset using NC Gage.

2. Access the Update Work Offset screen.

3. Specify the features defining the work offset in the Update Work Offset screen.

4. Press the Confirm soft key to add the update work offset command to the NC Gage program.

When the program runs, it will update the work offset.

To learn the work offset,

1. Select the feature in each axis list that is to be updated. Not all the axes need to be updated. The Value boxes will update to show the location of the selected feature. Once the Value box updates with information, the corresponding Offset box will become available.

2. If desired, type an offset distance into the Offset boxes. The distance may be positive or negative and represents the location of the feature after the work offset is updated.

3. From the Work Offset list select the work offset to update.

If the program has already run, NC Gage can update the work offset immediately. Configure the screen accordingly and select the Execute soft key. This will update the selected work offset and not save the command to the program.

Available Navigation Bar Soft Keys on this Screen:

| Backward / Forward Back / Forward to previous / next group of soft keys. |  | Select Measurement Face This soft key determines the direction of probing and the location of the clearance moves for the feature. You can press this multiple times to choose a different measurement face. Available faces are: X+, X-, Y+, Y-, Z+ and Z-.
| Delete Current Command / Delete Last Created This soft key deletes the current selected command (or the last created command) from the part program. If this icon is disabled, you may need to delete commands using the Edit Program screen instead. |  | Confirm / Add Command For operations this confirms the selection. For commands, this will append the command to the end of the program. For feature commands, this will become available after the machine has learned the feature location or when you have typed the feature's nominal values.
For constructed and dimension feature commands, this will become available once you have specified the proper input features.

| Insert Command after Current Position This soft key adds the command into the part program but places it after the selected command in the program tree instead of at the end of the program. |  | Cancel All Steps / Abort This soft key stops and resets the current operation. If learning a feature, it removes all the learned probe positions.
| Help This soft key accesses the NC Gage help file. |  | Work Offset This soft key selects the named work offset from the list of offsets. Pressing this again will select the next work offset from the list.
| Return This soft key returns the view up one level to the previous screen. |  |
