See "Absolute Zero Set" on page 138 for more information on using the 
SetZero
 cycle. The work piece drawing shows holes (
1
 to 
4
) whose 
dimensions are shown with respect to an absolute datum with the 
coordinates X=0 Y=0. Holes 
5
 to 
7
 are dimensioned with respect to a 
relative datum with the absolute coordinates X=450, Y=750. With the 
SetZero
 cycle you can temporarily set the datum to the position 
X=450, Y=750, to be able to program holes 
5
 to 
7
 without further 
calculations.
