IJK2AbcType macro using

I use Ijk2AbcType (OVR=7) macro to define Sinumerik TRAORI function describing tool axis vector by I,J,K values:

N166 X10.3464 Y-2.3877 Z99.9873 A3 = 0.0402 B3 = -0.0093 C3 = 0.9992
N167 X10.5309 Y-1.5730 Z99.9860 A3 = 0.0427 B3 = -0.0064 C3 = 0.9991
N168 X10.6512 Y-0.7439 Z99.9847 A3 = 0.0450 B3 = -0.0031 C3 = 0.9990
N169 X10.7062 Y0.0943 Z99.9834 A3 = 0.0471 B3 = 0.0004 C3 = 0.9989
N170 X10.6951 Y0.9366 Z99.9819 A3 = 0.0489 B3 = 0.0043 C3 = 0.9988
N171 X10.6176 Y1.7777 Z99.9805 A3 = 0.0503 B3 = 0.0084 C3 = 0.9987
N172 X10.4740 Y2.6124 Z99.9789 A3 = 0.0514 B3 = 0.0128 C3 = 0.9986
N173 X10.2646 Y3.4354 Z99.9773 A3 = 0.0521 B3 = 0.0174 C3 = 0.9985

There is also ROT X...Y...Z...command in the NC program. ROT command rotates work coordinate system by RotationPlane2 macro.
The question is how to make VERICUT orient the tool axis relatively to the new rotated CS?

Now I have right tool tip position but tool axis remains oriented relativly machine CS.

Re: IJK2AbcType macro using

Hello Igor,
VERICUT 5.4.2 was enhanced with the following macro:

ApplyRotationPlaneWithIjk2Abc:  Sets a flag on whether the current rotation plane should be applied to the IJK vector associated with the IJK to ABC conversion. 1 is Yes, 0 is No.  The default is No.

Using this will apply the IJK reverse kinematics calculation to the current rotation plane. Hopefully it will do what you expect.
