why is 120 degrees the initial start angle and not 90 degrees?

[txcncman]

Why not use 0 degrees as initial start angle with 120 degrees incremental?

incremental does not appear to be a choice in x5 for transform rotate.

[txcncman]

Angle Between is the incremental. Angle Between 2 times. Angle between 7 times. How ever many.

zero degrees reflects the toolpath i wish to transform regardless of where that toolpath resides in relation to a coordinate system?

zero degrees means do not shift the initial toolpath i want to transform?

It also depends on the use of subs, dis-allow posting of originals ( ghost ), copy.... blah blah

you would then start at o°, & then pitch incremental ( be it transform or rotate )

- this would mean that the original path is not in the main program, and the repeats ( 1st call would be at the place of programming )

----see what happens if you just post the transform operation ( play with the settings I've mentioned ), you can shorten a program quite considerably.

You should do long programs if you are running the program in DNC ( drip) mode, as you cannot jump around program lines using this method
