Does anyone know how to enter an absolute value?
I'm a newbee, Can someone help? Is there a way to move the torch to a postion like 10.00 x and 10.00 y without generating g-code. Not using the joy stick/arrow keys?

Sure go to the MDI line and type in
G90 G00 X10.000 Y10.000 then press enter.
G00 is rapid
G01 is feed
If using G01 make sure the feedrate is set or add F## to the line
G01 X10.000 Y.000 F30 Moves to the abs x10 y10 at 30IPM feedrate
G90 G00 X10.000 Y10.000 then press enter.

The arrow keys are for jogging the x and y axis and the page up and page down keys do the z axis.Then you can zero everything and cut from there
