I would like to try to do some engraving and I want to orient the spindle to different angles so that the "face" of the tool is always perpendicular to the line of cut. I can get the first orientation, but can't get additional changes. For example, I issue the following to my 1996 Cincinnati Sabre 750 with A2100 control. I do have spindle probe and tool probe options enabled.

The spindle will do the first orient, but does not pick up any other orient changes. This is just a simple scroll with about 4 rotations to test the process. Maybe I need to add an additional "unlock" code prior to issuing the next orient change, but I don't know what that is. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
