clockwise as negative), and the number of times the specified events are to be
rotated and repeated. You may not rotate another rotate event. Consider the
figure below:
FIGURE 7.3.6.1
Shape A programmed with 4 MILL events and Conrads.
Using ROTATE, these 4 events are rotated through a 45 degree angle
about a point offset from absolute zero by X Center and Y Center
dimensions. A is rotated 3 times to produce shape B, C, and D.
MIRROR
is used for parts that have symmetrical patterns or mirror image
patterns. In addition to specifying the events to be repeated, you must also
indicate the axis or axes (X or Y or XY are allowed) that the reflection is mirrored
across. In addition, you must specify the offset from absolute zero to the line of
reflection. You may not mirror another mirror event, or mirror a rotate event.
Consider the figure below:
