Im having a strange issue with the WCS on my '02 VF2. Im doing a simple drill operation on these aluminum brackets we make, I have 2 vises setup on the table. I use G54 for the left vise and G55 for the right vise, I set the part zero for both WCS in the offset page but for some reason the machine wont use the Y offset in G55. It will use the X offset for G55 just fine, but defaults to the Y offset for G54 when it should use G55. I even tried setting the Y on G55 to 0 or some random number like -7.0000 and it still uses the G54 Y. Is there a parameter or setting im missing on the machine? Here is the code mastercam posted for me:

You have this line; N190 G55 X.3765 Z.1

Try putting the actual Y coordinate in this line. Your last Y position was defined in G54 and the machine will not move Y again until it sees another Y command; just the the work coordinate from G54 to G55 will not move the Y without a Y command in G55.
