For example:

With an orientation angle of 0, the groove is cut in the machine's Y direction. |
With an orientation angle of 90, the groove is cut in the machine's X direction. |

This option only applies if the machine tool starts at the singularity (where the machine tool's Z-axis is aligned with the setup's Z-axis). If the machine tool is not at the singularity, you can specify the C-axis orientation using these methods:
- Use the Alternative 5-axis position option to specify a C-axis orientation of either 0 or 180 degrees.
- Use the Use Origin of this Setup as the Touch-off Point option in the 5 Axis Fixture Location dialog. This method applies the C-axis orientation to all setups in the part, instead of to individual operations.
