well, I am comfortable with matrix algebra, but it's probably easier, more practical, to just do that part in freecad or so, and use a separate g code file for that. I was just wondering  what these different coordinate systems are, what they are used for. On 9/11/20 9:26 AM, dave engvall

IIRC some controls have a switch to do this.  Also I think you can flip the sign of one axis and get a mirror image but the sense of the cut (climb/conventional) also flips so unless your machine is pretty tight dimensions may also shift. I've always done this the hard way by going back to the
