Force a-axis rotation with WCS output..

[Rob_Lockwood]

Another thing that I should be able to figure out, but am struggling with. I need the rotary position to output whenever the WCS changes, similar to below.

You could use following code:

  if (newWorkOffset) {
    forceWorkPlane();
  }

Just place that below the WCS section into your post or have a look at my attached example.

I swear i'd tried that, and didn't get output.

Works perfectly now.

Big thanks, Achim.

Hey Rob.... it's been a long time now. But were you attempting to get this to post out A0 with each WCS change, or A90 as your sample code shows? Because getting it to post A0 is really straight forward, but if you wanted to post out rotational angles relative to the previous WCS, things would get more complicated.
