    JCut Machine - Programming for multiple work offsets???

    I'm having difficulties writing a program that incorporates multiple work offsets. The machine moves to the established G54-G55 locations, but will only cut in the location of G54. Am I missing something?
    Machine: J-cut 25s purchased in 2012
    Example program:

    G17
    G90 G54 X0 Y0 S100 M03
    G00 Z0.5 F100
    G00 X0.625 Y2.5 F100
    G01 Z-0.125 F10
    G02 I1.875 F10
    G00 Z0.5 F100

    Do you have a different X0 Y0 set for each offset? I ran your G-code and it cut the same part in 2 different offsets(54,55).

    If you want to cut the same part in multiple work offsets the simplest solution would be with a subroutine. Using your code only written once will be cut 3X in G54,G55 and G56 offsets.
