#### Select Work Offset

Selecting a work offset at the beginning of your part program can make your program reusable; this must be done prior to measuring features.

1. Press the Select a Work Offset soft key from the Main screen to display the Select Work Offset screen. This is available when NC Gage starts up prior to defining a Feature Frame (if a rotary table has been configured for the system) or defining a Clearance Plane.

2. Press the Select a Work Offset to Update soft key reviewing the offset values shown in the Parameters section of the screen for each offset list item until the desired offset settings are displayed.

3. Press the Execute soft key to activate the work offset on the machine.

4. Press the Confirm soft key and NC Gage will insert the selected work offsets into the program. Press the Return soft key to return to the previous screen without saving.

Parameters Definition:

- Work Offset – Specifies the Work offset which is chosen to show the offset values in parameters and add to program.

- X Y Z – These read-only values show the Work Offset values. Values are read from the controller and shown when a work offset is selected in combo box.
