    This is a typo, right? :
    e.g. G68 A12 B25 R45 causes the coordinate system to be rotated by 45 degrees about
    the point Z=12, Y=25

    It should be, X=12, right?

    Very nice of you to do this. I'm new to CNC but once I get the basics figured out I'll have to try the 3D stuff out (and the 3D software since VCarve won't do it).
