Sounds like a perfect opportunity for the use of G10.

Hello all.

First I would like to thank you all for the help I have received with this
forum thus far.  The information found here is most benificial.  
On to my question:  I am new to the 3D World of FFM.  I am programming a
Horizontal mill with a tombstone. i was originally creating separate
programs
for each face on the tombstone and merging the code together to form one
program. The parts I am machining have origin located in different
locations
on each face of the tombstone.  I created new work/tool planes
approximately
in the WCS where they would correspond in space inside the machine.  I have
geometry on all faces but I can't get the code to output with the XYZ
coordinates relative to the new planes I created.  The code generates
values
from the WCS.  I have the B rotation working in code, the G codes for my
work
offsets and the positions have the correct xyz relative to their plane
orientation.
What am I missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Derrick
