The tool-orientation vector affects the compensation for the end-point of the move commanded on the
same line as the tool-orientation vector. It also affects the compensation for subsequent moves until
another tool-orientation vector is declared. In typical use, a new tool-orientation vector is declared with
each move, so the vector only affects the move on the same line in this case.

orientation vector
This statement specifies the Y-component of the tool-orientation vector used for three-dimensional cutter-
radius compensation. This value is used along with the X and Z-components specified by the TX{data}
and TZ{data} statements, respectively, to compute the orientation of the vector.

and TZ{data} statements, respectively, to compute the orientation of the vector.
The total magnitude of the tool-orientation vector specified with these three components does not matter,
although typically a unit-magnitude vector is specified. The relative magnitudes (including signs) of the
three components are what determine the orientation of the vector. The direction sense of the vector does
not matter – base to tip, or tip to base. Generally, all three components are declared together on one line;
if only one or two components are declared, the others are left at their old values, possibly leading to
unpredictable results.
