    Multiple Work Offsets

    I'm looking for a little bit of help with setting offsets (G54,G55, etc.)

    A good amount of my programming has to do with jig and fixture work and I'm wondering if there is a way to set multiple work coordinates on the same drawing. I have been drawing it all out and then editing the program to fit my needs, but it would be much easier for me (and less time consuming), if I were to be able to do this.

    Any help is appreciated!

    PinMan - I asked this same question befor ( http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55790). Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's possible; I was doing it by manually editing the Gcode in notepad.

    I see what you are saying, but Im asking something a little different. I want to place BOTH G54 and G55 on the same drawing and use those coordinates on the same fixture.

    Right, but my point was only that if I can't do what I'm looking to do, I can't see how BobCad would allow BOTH offsets in the same drawing...
