You can rotate and translate CL data before sending it to file or displaying it on the screen. It is especially useful for machining patterned features.

CL data rotations and translations are cumulative. You can repeat Steps 3–6 as many times as necessary to change the CL output location. To change rotation or translation value back to 0, click Quit on the CL TRANSF menu.
