Using Other Work Coordinate Systems in CAM Studio

in CAM Studio
Are non-G54 work coordinate systems (ie: G55, etc) supported in CAM Studio? I could not figure out how to change them.
The use is I would like my tool paths to reference a specific WCS (ex: G55). I tried modifying the "Override datum" field in "Setup→Initial work plane" but saw the following in the NC output: "( Warning - Overridden '2' is outside of range)
( Reverting to initial datum - please verify the code)".
I am currently using the "3-Axis Generic Milling - Tormach PathPilot" Machine/Post Processor.
Thanks!

@Alex_H I just tested this and worked ok for me. Edit
Did you enter "G55" or just "55" in the override field? You just need to enter the number not the WCS character.You are actually blocked from entering in a "G" value. Can you share what you put in the override field?N1 G20
N2 G90 G80 G40 G49 G17
( Operation: Rough)
N3 M06 T1 (D15 mm End mill)
N4 M03 S6000
( Warning - Overridden absolute datum)
( Please verify the code and programmed conditions)
N5 G0 G90 G55 G94 ( Setup)
Thank you! I was using indexes (in Fusion I had to use 1,2,3 to represent G54, G55, G56, etc) instead of the absolute number.
Edit: I entered "2"
