G55- G56 Posing out on 4 axis... why?

I just talked about this in a different thread. The old way didn't do this. However since the introduction of Automatic Work Offsets this has become the new norm. Post builders have added switches that will only output G54. I don't like that method I make sure to go into the planes manager and assign my work offsets for each plane in there.

Anybody yet found any actual use for automatic work offset?

I personally don't like it. There is no intelligence built into it for what I can see. If you programmed 50 operations and 10 each of them in different places of the program all shared the same Workoffset based off of some logical process then maybe, but I have yet to see any rhyme or reason to how it works. Front plane for 4 different operations in different parts of the program go from G54 to G59. Why?

Steve, under misc values you can set

Hey Glen, I see u at the front with Brian,,

wonder if u can stop in on me when u get a minute?

Wondering how to tell why a plane is in use... I want to delete it.

and... I have seen my 4th axis go in rapid when jogging but it won't do it after reset. 

I want to recreate that state for setups. must be a g-code?

thanks.
