Rotate, Mirror, and/or Scale a sub-program
Use RMS blocks to Rotate, Mirror, and/or Scale sub-programs. These
functions turn off when the sub-program ends.
 Select "Other Cycles" and then "RMS" from the pop-up
menu.
 Conversational format: RMS
Patterns commanded by the program can be rotated using polar
coordinates. Any angle can be described as positive or negative,
depending on how it is referenced. CCW from 0 degrees is positive.
CW from 0 degrees is negative.
 G-code formats: G68
Mirroring reverses the sign (+/-) of subsequent numbers and
movements, resulting in a reflection of the original pattern.
 G-code formats: G100
Use Scaling to enlarge or reduce patterns commanded by the
program. If a variable word is not given, it is assumed to be x1 factor.
Axes for circular motion must have the same factor.
 Tool length offsets, diameter offsets, tool wear factors, and tool
diameter compensation are not affected by scaling.
 G-code format: G72
Field Code Description
Sub# P The number designation of the
sub-program to be used. (required)
#Loops M The number of times the sub-program will
execute before returning back to the main
program.
StartAngle F Polar degree angle which the pattern will
rotate for the first Loop. Defaults to same
as Angle.
Angle C Polar degree angle which the pattern will
rotate for the remaining Loops. Defaults to
same as StartAngle.
XCenter I X-Axis coordinate for the point of rotation,
the point about which rotation occurs.
YCenter J Y-Axis coordinate for the point of rotation,
the point about which rotation occurs.
