This is possible. The commands would be entered in the console, this can be found on this guide: WorkBee Control Overview

To move relative to the current position use the commands:

  • G91 (Sets the machine to relative mode)
  • G0 X20 (move positive 20mm on the X-axis) - This will move at the maximum feedrate of 2500mm/min

To move to an absolute position in the current work coordinate

  • G90 (Sets the machine to absolute mode)
  • G0 X20 (move to a Work Coordinate of 20mm on the X-axis) - This will move at the maximum feedrate of 2500mm/min

To move to an absolute position in machine coordinates

  • G90 (Sets the machine to absolute mode)
  • G53 G0 X20 (move to a Work Coordinate of 20mm on the X-axis) - This will move at the maximum feedrate of 2500mm/min
