First time posting a question, but have learned a lot from this forum.
Can someone tell me if it is possible to get a post to force an A B rotary address for every work offset move.
I have a dual 5c Haas 5 axis trunnion. The fixtures in each spindle do not align perfectly on B axis. So when I am using the same tool on both rotary spindles, I need the spindle to index to the correct orientation as I move between the two. Currently the post positions the first spindle and then thinking the second spindle is already oriented outputs the G54.1 x y only.
This is what it is doing.

Then does a work shift to other spindle to run the same toolpath on second part.

This is what I want it to do
