You can call work offsets (G54, etc.) from any program.
You can use these offsets, for example, when you want to machine
workpieces with various blank dimensions using the same program.
The offset will, in this case, adapt the workpiece zero to the new
blank.
You define the work offsets in the work offset list (see Sec. "Defining
work offsets"). You can also view the coordinates of the selected
offset here.
