Selection of the Coordinate System
You can freely change the location of the origin. When the origin is changed, the positioning also changes, even though
the coordinate values themselves stay the same. Selecting a coordinate system should be thought of as switching to differ-
ent coordinates that have a different origin. When the command mode is set to RML-1, it may be a good idea to keep "User
Coordinate System" selected at all times.
Note, however, that the selection of the coordinate system that you make here affects only the displayed tool position. The
location of cutting does not change.
For information on how to change the location of the origin, refer to the following.
 P. 62 "Determining the Reference Position for Cutting"(RML-1 Mode)"
 P. 67 "Determining the Reference Position for Cutting" (NC-code Mode)"
Changing the Unit of Measurement for Display
You can switch the unit of measurement used for displaying coordinates between millimeters and inches. Click the [Prefer-
ences] icon, then select [Inches].
3-4 Moving the Tool
Selected coordinate system
This switches only the coordinate view. Cutting
operations are not affected.
