#### Understanding the MOVE/PH9_OFFSET Command for Imported DOS Part Programs

In the DOS version, the software rotated the PH9 to the new angles and then made an automatic move so that the tip would end up where it was prior to the angle change. However in the PC-DMIS for Windows when rotating the PH9 to new angles, the software doesn't make this extra move. So, for translated and imported DOS part programs, PC-DMIS for Windows automatically inserts MOVE/PH9_OFFSET commands to facilitate the translation from the DOS version of PC-DMIS to PC-DMIS for Windows.

This command has this syntax and takes two inputs:

MOVE/PH9_OFFSET,INPUT1,INPUT2

INPUT1 is the old tip angle.

INPUT2 is the new tip angle.

Note: You won't need to use this command in a normal PC-DMIS for Windows part programs and you can't select it from any of the menus.
