Moving the Axes with the Distance-To-Go Display

Normally, the display shows the actual position of the tool. However, it
is often more helpful to display the remaining distance to the nominal
position (distance-to-go). You can then position simply by moving the
axis until the display value is zero.

Application example: Finish turning a shoulder by traversing to zero
