Note – Bench rotation using two points is only available when GNSS Receiver
Support is installed and configured.
Bench rotation using two points allows you to use the bucket to specify two points
defining a line indicating the rotation bench direction. This means the accuracy of
the rotation bench can be fine-tuned as the machine is moved.

1. From any guidance screen press and hold Bench Rotation. The Bench Rotation
dialog appears, showing the Method:Direction screen.
