Turn file 90 Degs.

[cwebs]

Not sure where th post this but, I have a DXF that I converted to gcode using "DFX2GCODE". Worked fine but when opening it in EMC2 it is wider then it is tall or in other words, it is to long in the Y axis. X is fine and the longest axis on my machine. How can I turn this so the long way lies in the X axis?
Thanks Carl

Simplest is to open the DXF file in a CAD system and rotate the entities 90° and re-save to a new DXF file and run again through "DXF2GCODE"

or

Open the NCfile with a text editor and insert a rotate command ( check your manuals for correct G-code and syntax ) at or near the top of the program.

Don't forget to cancel the G-code at the end of the file

If you are using multiple tools, rotation may need to be cancelled when toolchanging

Thank you, I was wondering if I could rotate it like a picture. I will do it first in CAD then I'll look how to do it using code.

I found the answer. The Simplest way is to open it back in "DXF2GCODE"!!!! It can rotate and scale it right there. Amazing what you can see the second time you look at something. Carl
