Any corner

This permits measurement of a corner of a workpiece as the reference point in the axes of
the working plane and setting it as the ZO (translation and rotation).
The corner does not have to be right-angled.
4 measuring points are required: P1, P2, P3, and P4.
The 1st axis of the working plane functions as the reference axis (for G17: X axis). Edge P1,
P2 functions as the reference edge on the workpiece. This edge is aligned parallel to the
reference axis (G17: X axis).
