Rotation

[fabcam]

Rotation:

The rotation (as a default and without the LRA extension module for SE) is incremental between bends. So, once a bend is performed the rotation is considered to be 0 at that point in time and the rotation amount is based upon the amount of rotation between bends.

In the above picture notice how bend #4 has a rotation of 0. This shows no rotation between bends 3 and 4.

NOTE: If you need to have absolute rotation like that need when the material held in place by a chuck then the LRA extension module is needed.

As a default the software uses clockwise as a positive rotation direction. The rotation angles are from 180 to -180. You can use the "Pos Rotation Direction" selection box to reverse the direction. Basically this swaps the sign of the rotation angle.

If you do desire to change this value, make sure you change it globally in the "Tools", "Options" window.
