I'm running a GR510 gantry. I need to know if it is possible/how to probe my 2 workpieces (G54 and G55) with the angle. They both are locating off of different things on the table and therefore are sitting at different angles. Please let me know if I can call up the different angles within the program or if you can only set 1 angle for the entire thing. Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

no, it makes no sense at all. can you post a picture or a sketch or something?
I have 2 pieces on the table. I am setting 1 as G54 and the other as G55. They are each sitting at a different angle. I want to be able to call up the angle the 1st piece is sitting at so it will run true, then call up the angle the 2nd piece is sitting at so I can run that one true.

you can probe them and calculate the angle they are at, then use G68 to rotate the program.

you could store your angle at a local variable, and call that up on your G68 line,
for instance, calculate your angle for the first piece and store that at #100, and the second one at #101
I'm assuming your using a subprogram to run the same program on both pieces. so you could have something like this;
G54 #120=#100
M97 P1000
G55 #120=#101
M97 P1000
