Coordinate System Touchoff

To touch-off an axis, use a QPushButton and QLineEdit to set the touch-off value. Optionally you can have a QComboBox to select the Coordinate System to touch off to.

Coordinate System Touch Off Controls

Control Function	Object Type	Object Name
Touch Off Axis	QPushButton	touchoff_pb_(axis letter)
Touch Off Value	QLineEdit	touchoff_le
Coordinate System	QComboBox	touchoff_system_cb

Optionally you can have a QLineEdit for any axis by adding a string type Dynamic Property named source to the QPushButton and the value contains the object name of the QLineEdit that you want to use. See Dynamic Properties

As you can see you can have a QLineEdit for each axis.

To change the coordinate system via a button, use a change_cs_`n` QPushButton where n is 1-9 for G54 through G59.3
