When running in absolute coordinate mode, NOTHING in the g-code should
affect the
ability to get back to the same location. (In relative, you have to add
up all the moves so far,
to return to the same pos, so that complicates the issue drastically
with roundoff error.)
In Abs., any time you say X0.0, you should get right back there. If
not, the program has
a SEVERE bug in its arithmetic, and shouldn't be used.
