Work Offsets (Datum shifting)

[headflow]

I start my programs (sequence) with a Datum shift lets say (G54.1 P4) to match the datum in the tombstone that I will machine.

But once I do a Index move to position my B-axis (table) it returns to the first datum G54.1 P1 this means that I will have to check the nc code for all the datums used.

I know that I can use Work Datum Override in the Index cycle but I would like to beable to leave that blank and have Edgecam increment the datum from my initial datum that I entered in my fist Datum shift.

Anybody know how to do that....

to easily do that I would set my datum at the center of rotation of my B axis.
