### Parameter Settings: Rotary Table tab

Parameter Settings dialog box—Rotary Table tab

The Rotary Table tab allows you to rotate the current active rotary table by a defined angle and direction, or you can use it to automatically set the rotation based on a defined vector and a specified feature.

The Rotary Table tab becomes available when you select Single Rotary Table, Dual Rotary Tables, or Stacked Rotary Tables from the Rotary Table Setup dialog box. See "Defining the Rotary Table".

1. Access the Parameter Settings dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Parameters).

2. Select the Rotary Table tab.

3. Choose to rotate by a specific angle or to rotate to a feature.

- If by a specific angle, fill out Rotary Table W or Rotary Table V areas, defining the Angle and the Rotation Direction.

- If to a specific feature, fill out the Auto set from Vector area.

4. If you want to rotate the table immediately, select the Rotate the Table(s) check box.

5. Click the Apply button. PC-DMIS inserts a MOVE/ROTAB command into the Edit window.

The Edit window command line for this option reads:
MOVE/ ROTAB, angle, DIRECTION

If you have a stacked configuration, the Edit window command line for this option will read:
MOVE/ ROTAB, angle, DIRECTION, agle2, DIRECTION2

Additionally, the Rotary Table Setup menu option is only available if your port lock is programmed for rotary tables.
