I am with Viesters on this one, using a different co-ordinate map has always done that sort of job for me, no hassles, dead repeatable. I've personally never needed more than 2 more mappings because I use them to attain perfect registration of the top and bottom of a 2 sided pcb, but there are several more than the G55 and G56 I've used.
