    How to define work spaces in the G-code itself

    To make sure my different work spaces (fixture offsets) are correct, I like to be able to define them in the G-code itself, not by editing the offset table in Mach4.
    How can I do that?

    Thanks Jnhx,
    Vectric Pro will not import a 3D model.
    As it is now I recreate it from scratch in AutoCAD which will import directly to Vectric but it is time-consuming and error prone.
