Base Alignment Transformation from MCS

Hi all,

I'm scratching my head on this one. I'm trying to output the translation and rotation values (via PCM) of the base alignment with respect to the machine coordinate system. I see I can grab the values using the following:
baseSystem().x
baseSystem().y
baseSystem().z
baseSystem().euler1
baseSystem().euler2
baseSystem().euler4

and this works fine after I setup the base alignment manually. However, when I do a CNC run suddenly it only outputs all zeroes. If I close the program and re-load it I am able to output the actual values, but as soon as I perform another measurement run, it resets back to zero.
Looking at the base alignment dialog box I see there is an option to "Set base alignment to zero". I ran the program both with this checked and unchecked and didn't produce any difference.
How can I get the program to not produce all zeroes after a CNC run?

Create a secondary alignment that only references the MCS and extract the values from it. This will show you where the machine coordinate system is in relation to the base alignment.
