can you enter work offsets relative to each other? for instance if I want g55 to be 8" right of g54, is there a way to enter g54 + 8.0 into the x value for g55?

[@tormachinc]

You can! Go to G54 (0, 0, 0). Switch to G55 by typing G55 in MDI line. Zero the Y and Z DROs, then type ‘8’ into the X DRO and hit enter.

Tormach Inc. what I'm going after is to probe in g54 and have all the other work offsets automatically reference off of that. this way if I crash or have any issues with repeatability of limit switches when homing, I only have to probe in g54 and then all the other work offsets populate themselves relative to that. being able to type in g54 + 8 on the x axis of g55 in the offsets table, and then that formula staying there after would be a super feature. kinda like parametric offsets, if that makes sense :)
