Preloading milling tools - only for G code program (CYCLE800)

After "Swivel plane", the tool orientation is always perpendicular on the machining plane. When
milling with radial cutters, it can make technological sense to set the tool at an angle to the
normal surface vector. In the swivel cycle, the setting angle is generated by an axis rotation
(max. +/- 90 degrees) to the active swivel plane. When setting, the swivel plane is always
"additive". With "Setting tool", only rotations are displayed on the swivel cycle input screen
form. The user can freely select the rotation sequence.
