Hi Andrew,
Yes, the toolpath view is rotated with G68/G69, but ofcourse if you just execute a G68/G69 e.g. from an MDI then that will not rotate the toolpath view,
the toolpath view rotation is done only when the g-code file is loaded, because a rotation may require to redraw even all the g-code file, so redrawing the toolpath is often a time consuming operation.
So, rotation of the drawing does not happen in realtime, it happens when you load the g-code file.
But the rotation calculation of the path happens in realtime. So, you have to reload the file if you change the rotation and want to see it on the toolpath view.
I will attach 2 printscreens to let you see. It is the same code, but one is rotated with 45° with a G68.
