Thanks Jeff

You have to activate them in the program. G54 is probably your default at reset. So if you give a command X0Y0 it is going to use G54. If you have G54-G59 set up to the center of the 6 washers. G54=washer1 G55=washer2 ect. Your program has to call them.

(wahser 1)
G0G90G54
X0Y0
...
...
(washer 2)
G0G90G55
X0Y0
...
...
(washer 3)
G0G90G56
X0Y0
...
...
ect.
