Frame system

The frame is a self-contained arithmetic rule that transforms one Cartesian coordinate
system into another Cartesian coordinate system.
It is a spatial description of the workpiece coordinate system
The following components are available within a frame:
• Zero offset
• Rotate
• Mirroring
