Yes. MecSoft showed me how to set that up but I'm not impressed so far. I used the application from the link that Martin posted and compared the results. First the AlibreCAM (MecSoft) file used G1 and the Fxx values were as a result very slow. And F8.9 for a 3 degree A axis move still takes about 6 seconds. (1/8.9 * 60 = seconds for the move).
Change that G1 to a G0 and it speeds up. The program Martin linked doesn't accept the G-Code with G93 already installed. So it has to be created without G93. Then it also complained about the G1 and installed a G0 to set the speeds. Speeds were now more like 1800 degrees/minute for a 3 degree turn of the axis. So probably need to come up with a benchmark G-code set of lines that can then time how long it takes the rotary axis to move given that I might want a cutting speed of 12 IPM to avoid damaging the tool bit or the work.
