I don't use a RDS and it may be totally irrelevant to what you want but, I'll share anyway.

RDS Swivel Position

In some cases, it may be necessary to move the RDS head to a particular location to perform its swivel due to clearance issues with other parts, fixtures, or the bridge.

If this becomes necessary, it can be accomplished using a special navigation tool for RDS Swivel Position.

Decide upon a safe position that will work for all rotations. Go to PLAN/NAVIGATION/RDS SWIVEL POSITION.

CREATE NEW

Choose the icon that looks like a bent probe with the letters MK. This stands for probe position in machine coordinates. It’s probably best to specify swivel position in machine coordinates since your part coordinate system will vary depending upon part placement.

Pos. MPrb.MC

Open this and teach the machine your safe swivel location. As soon as you open, the current probe location is read in. If you need to edit the position, you’re able to update the numbers.

Now this location will be used for all probe swivels in your program!

To delete unwanted swivel positions or to rename them, go to PLAN/NAVIGATION/NAVIGATION PATHS LIST.
