SECTION FOUR - PREPARATORY FUNCTIONS (G CODES)
7. R can be used instead of AA for rotation angle.
3D Rotation (G0, G1, G2, G3, G68 AND G69)
G0, G1, G2, and G3 respond to 3D rotation when a G68 ABm has been entered.
G68 ABm
The ABm signifies 3D rotation. The angle m in degrees is the rotation of the primary axis
into the tertiary. For example, G17 G68 AB30 causes a 30 degree rotation of X
coordinates into Z coordinates.
