Question Re: Work Offsets

Tim,

Do you mean persist for the program or forever? To change the
fixture offsets programatically can't you use the assignment
statement and do something like

N1111 #5221 = 5.50 (or whaterver you need it to be?)
N2222 #5222 = y.yyy
N3333 #5223 = z.zzz

to change the G54 coordinate system?

I haven't tried this but when I read the variables section of the
handbook it appeared that you could.
