Trying to learn A axis programming. I have just installed a second parallel  port built a G540 with power supply and activated A axis pins and ports. My motor is  200steps per rev.* 10microsteps per rev.*2 "for 2 to 1 gear ratio, 30 teeth headstock 15 teeth stepper"/360°= Steps per 11.1111 Motor Tuning

All seems to be working in MDI code input have not checked with indicator but 360° and 0° are 12:00 180° is 6:00 etc..., but when I run this code the "G01 A360.0 F150"  is over rotating by many times before continuing to next line.

 I have "use radius for feedrate", "A-rotations enabled" in Config/Toolpath, "A axis is angular", "Ang Short Rot on G0"Config/General Config, "Rotation Radius A.0010" Settings Alt-6

 Here is my troubled code.

G00G17G90G40G49G80
T1M06
G00G43Z0.700H1
S20000M03
G94
G00Y-0.187
G00Z0.500
G01Z0.389F75
A360.0F150
G01Y-1.437A-2666.667F150
G01A-2306.667F150
G00Z0.489
G00Y-0.187
G00A0.0
G01Z0.377F75
G01A360.0F150 Over rotates by multiple full revolutions
  
 Any info is appreciated


this is my router, there are many like it but this one is mine

 OK everything is doing what it should. This is cumulative build up of units/degrees. So motor needs to rotate from G01A-2306.667F150 to G01A360.0F150. I could enable Rot 360 Rollover and not ever go past 360° but then the code does not work.

 I am trying to rough simple blanks for a second op. lathe with multiple passes. Is there a good way to code this with angular settings?
 
 Thanks
