I do not know where you get the g68 code but coordinate rotation is implemented in the development version of emc2. -This is done using g10. Direction for getting it here http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Installing_EMC2#On_Ubuntu_6_06_or_8_04_from_source definition here http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gcode_main.html#sub:G10:-Set-Coordinate http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gcode_main.html#sec:G10-L20
I have played with it - Works great :) http://www.electronicsam.com/images/KandT/testing/rotate1.png http://www.electronicsam.com/images/KandT/testing/rotate.png sam Colin MacKenzie wrote: > According to this recent page... > http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?action=browse&diff=3&id=EmcFeatures > > ...G68 has been implemented.
