1. Uses

2. Parameters

3. Example – rotation about a point

N10 G68 X0 Y0 R45
N20 (toolpath G-code)
...
N150 G69

The three images show the same G-code with two arches; only the G68 command for the second arch changes. The first arch is the original, with no rotation. The second uses G68 with different X Y rotation points to rotate the part 45°. The G-code used is shown in the bottom-left of each image.

4. Example – no rotation point given

N10 G68 R45
N20 (toolpath G-code)
...
N150 G69

With no X or Y given, the arch rotates around X0 Y0.
