See also: Transforming the Toolpaths
Rotates or copies a series of operations one or more times about a selected point. This is used where the same feature appears several times about a central point. Note that only the toolpaths are altered by these commands - there is no alteration of the original design geometry.
From - Click Browse to specify the first instruction in the rotated sequence.
To - Click Browse to specify the last instruction in the rotated sequence.
Angle - Specifies the angle to rotate by.
Repeats - Specifies the number times to repeat this rotational transformation, leaving a copy of the selected toolpaths at each rotation.
This command acts on the calculated toolpath. Fixed points such as home or toolchange positions and moves to Z clearance may not give the desired output. Such moves should not be included in the instructions to be transformed. Subroutines used for repeating the hole cycle positions may also be invalidated as they will no longer have unique identifying numbers.
