Switching over the coordinate system (MCS/WCS)

The coordinates in the actual value display are relative to either the machine coordinate system
or the workpiece coordinate system.
By default, the workpiece coordinate system is set as a reference for the actual value
display.
The machine coordinate system (MCS), in contrast to the workpiece coordinate system (WCS),
does not take into account any zero offsets, tool offsets and coordinate rotation.
