Can't issue MDI command when not homed was created by clayton2ndtry
But I have homed the axis and the little diamond, or whatever it is, is showing next to it. But Touch Off gives this error message. I have been using this INI file for months without problems. This is a Sherline mill so there are no limit switches. The only axis that homes is A, which is not connected. It homes and sets to 0.000.

Machine must have all axis/joints homed before issuing MDI commands or running in Auto mode.
Or to put it your way, all axis must have the little diamond in front on DRO

Boy that was easy. I guess I never tried this before without homing every axis. Thank you!
