Now the issue with the X5 rectangular translation is because the software is not being used as it was intended. If you try to create the rectangular grid in X4, and select Coordinates as your type, it will not allow you to select Work offset numbering. It is grayed out. You can make the changes in X5 but I think that by intention, should not be allowed.

 

I wonder if the same should go for the transform rotate by coordinates? Although you are able to make the changes to this transform in both X4 "and" X5.

 

 

In X5 rectangular translation, If you de-select the "include origin" It will not output work offsets even though tool plane is selected and Work offset numbering has values. I am guessing that is also intended? This was not an option in X4 and the help file is not clear of its intended use.

No, I rotated a rectangle around a point (Z axis or origin) on the top plane and it seems to work for me.

 

To get the A axis to output, you need a 4 axis post and rotate arond the X axis (left or right side planes).
