See also: Switching between Main and Sub-spindle
The Select Spindle command allows you to switch between main and sub-spindle.
The command is listed in the instruction browser under the currently selected turret. When switching turrets it automatically reverts to the currently selected spindle for that turret.
If a tool is mounted at an angle or has been moved to an angle (i.e. B45) this angle is maintained when the opposite spindle is selected.
If your currently selected CPL is offset from CPLTurn and the sub-spindle is selected, the CPL orientation is maintained but will revert back to the spindle part datum.
