  You asked about fixture offsets.
  I could explain about the MCS & the WCS too.
  The "work offset" is a bit vague. See whatever 
docs for the specific program or machine/control 
claim. Then ask jb for some fine gibberish.

  Nor am I about to make any silly claims. Try using standard terms
as used in the standards.

  See how much you miss?

  I expect you have some confusion.

  Great idea. You programmed a hole to drill in the default X-Y plane then
generate it with an isometric view & WCS/MCS active.
  You just pulled a banquer.

  I can tell a  -X in diameter programming mode from a +X <VBG>.
