If you dont have limits then just jog to a position on the table that would represent the X0Y0 and give you the largest cutting area then zero the DROS. What I mean by that is if you were cutting something and the X0Y0 in the code was slap bang in the middle then move your table to the middle and zero the DROs. If your code had the lower left corner as the X0Y0 then move the table to lower left and zero the DROs.
If you wanted you could pretend you had Home switches and each time you started Mach you could jog to the lower left corner and press the RefAll button, that would set the machine coordinates as zero which in turn would mean you could set up softlimits which would allow you to see the table size on the toolpath display if you wished. You still need to set the offset position to zero to suit your code.
