Setting the work offset

You can enter a new position value in the actual value display for individual axes when a
settable work offset is active.
The difference between the position value in the machine coordinate system MCS and the
new position value in the workpiece coordinate system WCS is saved permanently in the
currently active work offset (e.g. G54).
Requirement
The control is in the workpiece coordinate system.
The actual value can be set in both the Reset and Stop state.
Note
Setting the WO in the Stop state
If you enter the new actual value in the Stop state, the changes made are only visible and
only take effect when the program is continued.
