I'd gladly set it there, but the only way I've found to change the
absolute coordinate frame is to move to the position I want to be 0,0,0,
exit EMC, and restart. I know I'm probably missing something, but I have
yet to figure out how to change the absolutes. Right-clicking on an axis
and setting it to zero only sets an offset.
