13.9 THREE-DIMENSIONAL COORDINATE CONVERSION
(G68,G69)
Coordinate conversion about an axis can be carried out if the center of
rotation, direction of the axis of rotation, and angular displacement are
specified. This function is very useful in three-dimensional machining
by a die-sinking machine or similar machine. For example, if a
program specifying machining on the XY plane is converted by the
three-dimensional coordinate conversion function, the identical
machining can be executed on a desired plane in three-dimensional
space.
