Pos to Mach No Definition
This subheader is only available for machines that have posts written in the old style (Pos to Machine = NO).

Description |
PRP Name |
| Tilt Axis With Deviation Angle | Plane definition with deviation angles (for GCode generation only). | tilt_axis_dir_CW-CCW |
| Tilt Axis Dir CW & CCW | Enables choosing opposite angle pairs in operations (for GCode generation only). | tilt_axis_dir_CW-CCW |
| Tilt Axis Direction | Defines the direction in which the 5th Axis tilts the workpiece (for GCode generation only). |
tilt_axis_dir |
| 4x Direction | Defines the direction of 4x rotation on wrapped operations (for GCode generation only). |
direction_4x |
| 4x Direction - Positive Only | Defines the rotation direction of 4x Simultaneous operations to be positive (for GCode generation only). |
positive_4x_dir_only |
| Set Direction | Enables GCode that uses C-Axis of machines with 4th Axis (CW/CCW). |
set_dir |
| MAC Number (Center of Rotation) | Home number that is the center of rotation movements during transformation. |
center_rot_mac_num |
| Default Machine Plane | Default machine plane for home definition. | machine_plane |
