Does linuxcnc have a refresh/regenerate g-code after you, let's say, just did a work offset operation like Mach3 have? The gcode being used was generated with,say, 0 at left bottom corner and I'd like to make it 0 at the right corner. How do I update/tell the gcode in linuxcnc that I want a different work offset.

Thank you. Sorry for my English.

Hi

So long as the g code still does what you want it to, all you have to do is move to the new 0 point you wish to start from and touch off.

If you still need the original 0 point, just use another offset - G55 say, so that you can return to the original at a later point.

I have some G code tutorials for LinuxCNC that might help.
