Stumbled on a G54 offset trick that saved me 2 hours last week

I was setting up this job with 8 different fixtures and kept getting my offsets all mixed up. Tried using G10 to set them program side instead of poking at the control screen each time. Honestly it felt weird at first typing them in the code but once I got the syntax right it was way faster. Has anyone else messed around with using G10 for multiple fixture offsets or am I just late to the party?

I've been programming since before G10 was even invented, so you're practically a wizard in my book.

That's a neat way to look at it, but honestly I think it's more about sticking with something than being a wizard. Like yeah, 20 years of experience means you've seen a lot of broken stuff and fixed it. The real magic is just not giving up when something crashes. But hey, your mileage may vary. Some people pick it up way faster than others, and that's fine too.
