This command sets the workpiece coordinate system as the coordinate sys-
tem. After this command is executed, the coordinate data in all subsequent
axis operations is processed as workpiece coordinate data.
The origin for the workpiece coordinate system can be set with the system
parameters or with G53. The reference coordinate system will be used after
REFERENCE ORIGIN RETURN (G26) or ORIGIN SEARCH (G28) is exe-
cuted.
