PlasmaC laser offset (SOLVED) was created by Clive S
I have done an update to the latest version 0.180. from about 2 months ago.

The laser offset seems to work in a different manor in that when you move to a position then use the offset button it moves to the correct place but does not show on screen but when cutting the part it cuts ok bet does not follow the onscreen outline.

If you then press the normal X touch off on the gui the image on screen moves to the correct position.

Has the code changed?

I use this:
BUTTON_1_NAME = Laser\Offset
#BUTTON_1_CODE = G54 G0 X-47.5 Y21.296
BUTTON_1_CODE = G10 L20 P1 X0 Y0 \ G54 G1 X -47.5 Y 21.296 F2000 \ G10 L20 P1 X0 Y0

That code is run by LinuxCNC itself, not PlasmaC. I don't think the preview can be refreshed in Gmoccapy but in Axis there is a new refresh pin available so you could add:
\ %halcmd setp axisui.refresh 1
to the end of your existing code and it will refresh the preview screen.

See the "Touch Off X & Y" section here:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/plasma/plasma...de.html#_button_code.

Came here to write essentially what Phill did earlier, got distracted because someone used my credit card to order themselves dinner on Uber Eats... so I got bogged down disputing charges, and then updating all the autopay stuff with the new credit card number (which conveniently they issue instantly).

If you are using Gmocappy, you can use the provided Macro buttons. I suspect that will sort out the screen refresh as I've never noticed the problem Greg mentioned doing it that way.
