G54-G57 with G58 or G59

[Stupidav]

Ok so I am cutting a "Sheet" of small parts that Surfcam can't handle the hole sheet (imagine that). So I am going to split it up and cut it is 14 sections.

I know I can set the main part zero as G54. I need to verify the use of G58 and G59. I kow it is an offset to the previous zero, so if I am thinking right:

G54 ;set the part zero
machine zone one stuff here
G58 ;add x offset
machine zone 2 stuff here
G58 ;add additional x offset
machine zone 3 here

Is my thinking correct?

FYI,
This is true, so poentially you can have up to 12 sections of work preformed in one file. Although where I ran into problems getting this to work properly is during the tool change the machine issues a G49 which sets the current offset to the part offsets. This clears out any Machine Offsets (G54 - G59). So when defining the next work zone I could not just go a G58, because it would add the offset to nothing.

So if your tool change is programed like mine this is what you have to do:
If you want 4 or less sections of work within one file, just use G54 - G57 to define them. If you have 5 or more sections of work, without a tool change you can simply utilize the G58 and G59 additives.
If you have one or more tool changes within any of the sections, right after you change the tool (M6 in my case) give it the G54-G57 (Main Offset) then G58-G59 (Additive to Main Offset) so the rest of that section will utilize the appropriate machining area.
