The Z axis OVER/UNDER/NO FIT stuff is kicking my butt!!!

I understand a bug report has been opened on GitHub (#297 in May 2021) to address the simulator not recognizing G53 and G92.2 commands which causes an OVER/UNDER/or NO FIT reading on the DRO's on a certain axis (usually Z).

This has not been a problem on the machines I am running; I simply ignore the "warning" and the files work fine regardless. However, I am starting to build systems for other clients and this is proving to be a huge headache to work around or try to explain why the Z DRO is yellow or Red all the time.

Hello.

I just ran into this issue also when doing some modifications to the vectric post processor by adding G53 G0 X24 Y18 Z7 to run at the end of each job.

I don't really use the 3D viewer, but this throws a "No Fit" error on the coordinate control page as the "Fit" checks are based on the zero offsets.

The G53 command does work but I don't like how the error is thrown as it is tough to realize if there is another "no fit" issue.

100% agree. Should be on top of list of items to fix.

It is fixed in the next release. The release should be coming out soon.
