I am trying to engrave lettering on a cylinder

and I DO NOT understand why does C axis seem to go around clockwise almost 360 degrees instead of moving in the oppsite direction 0.004th of a degree. MPLTPLSC post is used.

Thanks for looking at my trivial question

There may be a conflict to what you expect as output thru the post and what the machine parameter settings are.

 

I can't recall the actual parameter number, but I changed the machine settings to match the way I wanted the code to look. Check in the parameter manual and look for rotary axis settings.
