Using the Rotary Rotate Command

The Transform, Rotary Rotate (Edit menu) command is used to rotary repeat an instruction or group of instructions around the C-axis.

In the example shown below we index a CPL, move to a position clear off the part and then perform a roughing cycle.  The Rotary Rotate command is then used to repeat the roughing cycle around to the other positions. The rotation is always performed about the initial CPL.

Please note that the Rotary Rotate command currently does not support canned cycles or sub-routines, all NC output is in longhand format.
