Procedure
1. The part program or ShopMill program to be processed has been
created and you are in the editor.
2. Press the "Various" softkey.
3. Press the "Swivel plane" softkey.
The "Swivel plane" input window opens.
4. Press the "Basic setting" softkey if you wish to reestablish the initial
state, i.e. you wish to set the values back to 0.
You use this,for example, to swivel the coordinate system back into its
original orientation.

Parameter Description Unit
TC Name of the swivel data set
Retraction
 No: No retraction before swiveling
 Z: Retraction in the direction of machine axis Z
 Z, X, Y: Move machining axis to retraction position before swiveling
 Tool direction, max.: Maximum retraction (up to the software end position) in the
tool direction
 Tool direction, inc.: Retraction, incremental (up to the software end position) in the
tool direction
When retracting in the tool direction, in the swiveled machine state, several axes
can move (travel).
ZR Retraction path - (only for incremental retraction in the tool direction)
Swivel plane
 New: New swivel plane
 Additive: Additive swivel plane
X0 Reference point for rotation X
Y0 Reference point for rotation Y
Z0 Reference point for rotation Z
Swivel mode
 Axis by axis: Rotate coordinate system axis-by-axis
 Solid angle: Swivel via solid angle
 Proj. angle: Swiveling via projection angle
 Direct: Directly position rotary axes
Axis sequence Sequence of the axes which are rotated around: - (only for axis-by-axis swivel mode)
XYZ or XZY or YXZ or YZX or ZXY or ZYX
