Current workpiece coordinate system

Sometimes it is advisable or necessary to reposition and to rotate, mirror and/or scale the
originally selected workpiece coordinate system within a program.
The programmable frames can be used to reposition (rotate, mirror and/or scale) the current
zero point at a suitable point in the workpiece coordinate system. You will thus obtain the
current workpiece coordinate system.
Several zero offsets are possible in the same program.
