    On newer versions of the software, you have 10 sub-sets, 0 through 9, of each work coordinate.

    Look at the information box on the right side of the display for the line:
    PLANE : XY (G54)0
    The 0(zero) after the G54 indicates sub-set 0.

    You can change from one to another in several ways - in MDI, simply key in the WC you want active: G540 (the first G54) through G599 ( the tenth G59).
    In a program, use a MISC event to select the WC you want active.

    To set the Work Coordinates, go to MDI, change the active WC, then go back to JOG or HDW and set your offsets, go back to MDI, change WC, go back to Jog or HDW, set the offsets, etc.
