Z offset and ABL

I just finished setting up Auto Bed leveling on my prusa i3v.
It seems its off by about .2mm which is fine, I want to set z offset for PLA and ABS etc. as they will be different.
However, it seems when i set the offset in S3d under gcode, it doesnt affect it at all. it doesnt bring it down any closer to the bed.
ANy ideas why?
thanks

Re: Z offset and ABL

If you enter something like -0.2mm in the gcode Z-axis offset, it will print 0.2mm closer to the build platform. You can export the gcode file and look at the Z-coordinates to verify this.
