If you're doing 5axis simultaneous motion than trying to read the program is crazy. The only way to program is off c/l of the rotary axis but if you are only positioning in 4 or 5 axis and machining stationary than you will be fine using work coordinates as long as you set the job up it should be fine probably a lot of h offsets if you don't program from c/l The real fun is learning how to program 5axis and posting the program and letting it run good times.
BTW if your post processer doesn't give you what you want in 2 axis machining than you need to check with your dealer on your post or change your programming style to output what you want. If I read through every program I wrote I would be weeks behind schedule.
