rotary subprogramming

[Jeremy Grigsby]

Ok, let me start off by saying that I am posting from my phone. I'm saying this because I haven't searched the forum to see if this has already been answered. We only have Mcam Lathe right now, but my question is on gcode mill programming. We need to do some subprogramming with rotary positioning. here's and example of the sub.

O1000

X0.125 Y.0.0 Z0.100 A2.5

Z-.125

X2.000

A-2.5

X0.125

Z.100

 

ok very basic and some stuff is missing, but just trying to convey the path

 

ok so if i want to repeat this pattern every 36 degrees, with my initial work offset using g55, do i do this?

 

g55 A0.0

m98p1000

g55 A36.

m98p1000

 

any ideas?
