Looking in the negative direction.Are you looking towards the negative or positive axis?
Hi there,
I am trying to do circular interpolation between the vertical and one of the horizontal axis. My question is, which way are you looking from when you do clockwise and counter-clockwise? Are you looking towards the negative or positive axis? For example, if I want to traverse a semi-circle "smile-oriented" shape between Z and X with radius 1, if I'm looking at it from the positive X axis it would be:
G01 X1 Z0
G02 X-1 Z0 R1
If I'm looking at it from the negative X axis, it would be:
G01 X1 Z0
G03 X-1 Z0 R1
It's pretty intuitive when you're interpolating between X and Y to look downwards, is it the same for X and Y? Thanks

Got it.
Thanks for the reminder about working plane - I was wondering about that.
And the coordinate system follows right-hand rule.
