    Mach3 has 253 work coordinate systems. Are there only 9 work coordinate systems in PlanetCNC software?

    Never mind - found it in the manual. That is very uncommon...

    TNG will have 300 coordinate systems in next release. They are accessible with G54.1 Pn and G59 Pn.

    It might be uncommon but it is very useful. I have more than a dozen in use at the moment and soon to be more.

    I am unable to find how do you define the 9 offsets in the TNG software.

    Can you zero the z-axis for all 9 offsets at once?

    I hope it will be ready by end of month. We are doing some major improvements that require lots of work.

    You can define coordinate system offsets with G10 L2 Pn g-code.
