G53 movement

[Saracen]

Should the G53 be before or after a G00 or G01 command ?

LinuxCNC has it before:

"For example G53 G0 X0 Y0 Z0 will move the axes to the home position even if the currently selected coordinate system has offsets in effect."

Mach 3 has it after:

"For linear motion to a point expressed in absolute coordinates, program G1 G53 X~ Y~ Z~ A~ B~ C~ (or similarly with G0 instead of G1),"

After makes more sense, as both say it has to have G00 or G01 "active" to work.

Off to the workshop to try it.
