Transformations

To make programming easier, you can transform the coordinate system. Use this possibility,
for example, to rotate the coordinate system.
Coordinate transformations only apply in the actual program. You can define shift, rotation,
scaling or mirroring. You can select between a new or an additive coordinate transformation.
In the case of a new coordinate transformation, all previously defined coordinate
transformations are deselected. An additive coordinate transformation acts in addition to the
currently selected coordinate transformations.
Note
Transformations with virtual axes
Please note that when selecting TRANSMIT or TRACYL offsets, scaling and mirroring, the
real Y axis is not transferred into the virtual Y axis.
Offsets, scalings and mirroring of the virtual Y axis are deleted for TRAFOOF.
Procedure for work offset, offset, rotation, scaling or mirroring
