Repeating a job - use Touch Off?

Is the best way to cut multiple parts, to cut the first piece, enter an appropriate offset for the next piece using Touch Off and then cut the next piece and repeat? I've tried this and it seems sometimes it moves the drawing relative to the last cut and sometimes it's an absolute measurement. What I've been doing lately then is to jog to 0, 0, then home X and Y and enter an absolute measurement as the Touch Off value for both X and Y, then cut the next part. This is a a litle cumbersome. Is there a better way?

-Thanks

If your talking about cutting several parts from a single piece of material I do that with G92 on my plasma cutter. I set G92 X0 Y0 at the start and after the cut move to the next start position and set G92.1just in case it is the last part... Then I just run the file over again as many times as needed. Each time it cuts the part as if it is starts at X0 Y0.
