### G68 X... Y... Z... I... J... K... R...

`X... Y... Z...` Optionally points to a rotation point, if not given, the current Work Zero point is used.

`I... J... K...` Optionally, without I, J, or K the rotation takes place in the actual plane [G17, G18, G19 (Plane Selection)](docId\:Uo-PghD6GWTJ4p9XJ2NzP). Either `I1`, `J1`, or `K1` can be used, not a combination.

`I1` specifies a rotation about X in the YZ plane, `J1` rotates about Y in the XZ plane, and `K1` rotates about Z in the XY plane.

`R…` Is the rotation angle in degrees, positive is counter-clockwise while negative is clockwise.
