    Fanuc Oi-MC, g68 coord. rotation

    anyone had experience with coord sys rotation? I have tried to read in but the control deletes this block and everything below. "illegal program number"

    G68 X0. Y0. R180.

    trying to nest parts, move coord origin with G10, rotate coord origin 180 degrees.
    g17 is selected. twinhorn vmc.
    I have checked the parameter settings, nothing there to turn this function on or off.
    I have this block in a subprogram call.

    P2001;
    G10 L2 P2 G91 X_ Y_;
    G17;
    G90;
    G68 X0. Y0. R180.;
    G90;
    M99

    First, I've never seen "P2001" on a line by itself. What's it supposed to do? Next, I'd check for typos that have an "O" instead of a "0" (zero).

    should have been O2001. This is a subprogram.

    Why not post your program here so we can see it?
