Parameter Description
TC Name of the swivel data set
No: No retraction before swiveling
Retraction 
Z: Retraction in the direction of machine axis Z

Z, X, Y: Move machining axis to retraction position before swiveling

Tool direction, max.: Maximum retraction (up to the software end position) in the

tool direction
Tool direction, inc.: Retraction, incremental (up to the software end position) in the

tool direction
When retracting in the tool direction, in the swiveled machine state, several axes
can move (travel).
ZR Retraction path - (only for incremental retraction in the tool direction)
New: New swivel plane
Swivel plane 
Additive: Additive swivel plane

X0 Reference point for rotation X
Y0 Reference point for rotation Y
Z0 Reference point for rotation Z
Axis by axis: Rotate coordinate system axis-by-axis
Swivel mode 
Solid angle: Swivel via solid angle

Proj. angle: Swiveling via projection angle

Direct: Directly position rotary axes

Axis sequence Sequence of the axes which are rotated around: - (only for axis-by-axis swivel mode)
XYZ or XZY or YXZ or YZX or ZXY or ZYX

1. The part program or ShopMill program to be processed has been
created and you are in the editor.
2. Press the "Various" softkey.
3. Press the "Swivel plane" softkey.
The "Swivel plane" input window opens.
4. Press the "Basic setting" softkey if you wish to reestablish the initial
state, i.e. you wish to set the values back to 0.
You use this,for example, to swivel the coordinate system back into its
original orientation.
