sheetcam rotating parts

Post by farmer53 »

HI

I have sheetcam TNG version 3.0.9

Is there any way to rotate parts on the screen instead of typing in the degree at the bottom of the screen. In searching online I found info on using the shift and < > keys but that only moves the part side to side or up and down.

Is there any way to rotate parts in mach3 or does it only understand the x and y location it gets from a cam ( gcode ) file.

THANKS

Select the Nesting function.
Right click mouse
Select Grid Options
Set angle (Incerement of rotation)
Under the Angle + key Highlight and enter the Function key you wish to use to rotate the part in a + direction
Under the Angle - key Highlight and enter the function key you wish to use to rotate the part in a - direction
Hope this works for you - John
