Hi Tapio,
If you are physically at your desired machine zero position, then the normal procedure is to disable the axis, set the encoder to zero, then enable the axis at the same destination as the encoder reading. So:
DisableAxis(2); ch2->Position=0; EnableAxisDest(2,ch2->Position);

Hi Tom,
And this will also set Mach axis DRO to zero?

Hi Tapio,
I don't think so. It will definitely make the Mach3 Machine coordinates Zero. If the Mach3 DRO is displaying Work Coordinates and there is a Work Offset or G92 offset then the DRO will not display zero. Try the methods described here:
