Rotation in a plane (contour rotation)

Selection: #ROTATION ON

The coordinate system can be rotated within the main plane by using contour rotation. Rotation may also be applied within an already rotated coordinate system (CS, ACS).

Effectiveness

• Effective up to deselection or up to the end of the program.
• Contour rotation acts in the main plane only on the programmed axis coordinates before all other contour-influencing functionalities, i.e. all offsets and mirror-imaging operations can be used as before.

Attention

A change of plane with G17/18/19 automatically deselects an active contour rotation. The warning P-ERR-21143 is output.

Deselection: #ROTATION OFF
