Just to recap, I am m/c an angled square pad at x,y,z then I want the 1st position to be programmed inc' from the 1st point, etc.

Is the previous answer relevant ?

If what you mean is that you need all incremental output (G91) then you need to set a switch in the post. Depending on the post, this may be handled with an actual post switch or with a miscellaneous integer.

 

Search for 'absinc' in your post to see the details

The switch is in the Misc. Int. There is a button on the first page of all operations it's greyed out normally but you just need to click on the check box to activate the button. Look for Absolute/Incremental and see what to set it at.

The Misc integer is in the toolpath settings - tool parameters, misc values button. Click the checkbox next to it, and the "misc values" button will no longer be grayed out as James mentioned.

It's on the FIRST page of your operation, on the right hand side. There is a row of buttons. Look there. It will be greyed out.
