    G68 + Rectangle Cycle

    Hey guys,
    when I use a G68 coord rotation and then a L9601 rectangular pocket cleanout the coord rotation doesn't apply to the rectangle. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to get the rectangle rotated?

    I recall running into this a few years ago.We run in Fadal mode 1, so take the this with a grain of salt. I think that I had to call the CENTER of the rectangular pocket X0 Y0 for L9601 to be rotated by a G68 call. Canned cycles kind of have their own set of rules. FWIW, I just rotated an engraving cycle (L9201) by 150 degrees so I know that canned cycles can be rotated.
