Considerations
When selecting the longitudinal axis with G20, tool orientation may be
established according to the programmed sign.
• If the parameter to select the longitudinal axis is positive, the tool
is positioned in the positive direction of the axis.
• If the parameter to select the longitudinal axis is negative, the tool
is positioned in the negative direction of the axis.
