I use Vectric VCarve Desktop which limits G-code files to 25"x25" workspace and then Tiles the output. The majority of my work on my Woodworker fits within the 25"x25" space. Typically if I have a larger file, I can either modify the g-code file, create the file on Free Cad or move the work piece. …

[image] JRose: I’m thinking about setting up some macros IMO, macros are for more persistent use cases. In other words, by the time you setup a macro for a particular, unique, job, you could have just uploaded the GCode file and run it like any other program. Then delete it. I would suggest …

G92 might be an option but I’m trying out the new macro commands and setting up some standard tiles. This one makes sure I’m starting off referencing the default Coordinate system (G54) then moves to the position I want as the new tile. It then sets that position as the origin of coordinate system …

Hello Jeff Trying to understand what you are planning to do: Are you trying to have G54 be the origin of one tile, G55 the origin of the next tile a set distance away from G54, etc? Then do you plan to make each tile a different origin in the code and run them so they all seamlessly fit together? …

Yes, Chris. I’m creating a coordinate system for each tile. Vcarve writes each toolpath of each tile to a separate file and they are all referenced to X0 Y0 assuming that you have moved the piece or offset the XY… After I load the gcode file, I can just send a single G code (G54 through G57 - I only…

Aiph5u explains it well here.
For moving relative to the last tile position just use G92 not G53.
