Rotating G Code Within LinuxCNC

I do a lot of engravings, images and such.

This is a problem I often come across, and the answer to my question ultimately makes my life easier, but is not necessary, but I still would appreciate any help/assistance.

Say I have an image I want engraved. I have prepared it to the dimensions I want, and then load it into linux cnc. What I find, ocassionally is the piece I want engraved won't fit on my sherline cnc unless it is rotated, and when it is rotated, the image I have in linuxcnc no longer translates right side up. I would love if I could rotate the image(or better said, rotate the g code) so it then fits the way I must rotate my piece to be engraved. Is this possible?

I understand, the simpler answer is, "just do it right the first time". But, we're all human. Any input would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

have windows?

I appreciate the response. I use G Code Ripper often actually, it's a great program! I understand how to rotate, and I can do that on my windows computer, but the linuxcnc computer is in the shop. Yeah, I can unbolt the vice, rotate it around, and then maintain the same g code and everything is fine. Or yes, I can go onto my windows computer, and switch things around in the g code.

This question is purely to make things easy. Doing everything on the linuxcnc program. Or, if someone has another program that can run within linux, that would be awesome too.

I've almost got g code ripper to work on linux actually.

you can try G10 L2 P0 R90
I'm not sure how it will work out. I have only used it for minor adjustments, never 90 degrees.
Also it won't update the display, so it is hard to predict exactly how it will react?

If you are not familiar with it you can read about it here: linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/g-code.html#gcode:g10-l2

Awesome, Worth a try. Thank you.

G code ripper will run in linux as a py program.
