What does this warning mean: work offset 57 is all zeros (effectively G53)

I am using Work offset 57 for seconds ops in Solidworks CAM. I get this warning

N20 ( Rough Mill1 )
M1
(1/2 3FL)
M6 T2 G43 H02
S1200 M3 M8
G57 ********** Warning about this line
G0 X1.6211 Y2.3354
Z1.
Z.0984

(I’m really out of my element here so I could be completely wrong as I have never used solidworks.)

Is that the warning:

“G57 ********** Warning about this line“

No info or anything?
Uneducated guess. Maybe the offset origin was never setup.?

Jas,

The “xx offset is all zeros” error means that a work offset has not been set for that work coordinate.

Thank you,

Norman

Thank you for quick response. I was using PP simulator and then didn’t ref axis before running the code. Thanks again

FWIW. You this error isn’t related to not referencing the axes. This error is saying that you never setup G57 (touched off your zeros)

Thanks Davie, I received this error on PP pathpilot but on actual Tormach there was no such error. Thanks again.
