There is this Fanuc manual. <http://www.compumachine.com/Support/Downloads/Fadal/GE%20Fanuc/0010__GE_FANUC_User_Manual.pdf>http://www.compumachine.com/Support/Downloads/Fadal/GE%20Fanuc/0010__GE_FANUC_User_Manual.pdf It describes a 2 block 3D rotation which I think is interesting but have never seen a machine that supported it. A manual for an older Mit M300V control. It also describes other types of rotations such as pattern rotation done in an M98 sub call and rotations done with the G10 code. And parameter rotations which is the one used to align and entire program to a part placed on the table, it is done outside the program as part of the setup of the job. Unfortunately not a lot of info on that one but on the machines I have used it on (wire EDMs) it rotates around the work offset zero point and is just an angle you enter on the screen as either degrees or a j,k vector. <http://www.meau.com/functions/dms/getfile.asp?ID=010000000000000001000000460900000>http://www.meau.com/functions/dms/getfile.asp?ID=010000000000000001000000460900000 I have not used the other types much, mostly just used the 2D G68 rotations. More Mit books. <http://www.meau.com/eprise/main/sites/public/DOWNLOADS/-search_results?DocType=010&ManualType=0055>http://www.meau.com/eprise/main/sites/public/DOWNLOADS/-search_results?DocType=010&ManualType=0055 __________ Andre' B.
