Locate the figure copy command in your program (typically G72.1 for rotation or G72.2 for scaling).

Identify all blocks between the figure copy start and the execution command (G72.1/G72.2 P__ Q__).

Search for any G-codes in the range G73-G89 (drilling/tapping canned cycles) within the copied figure.

Remove canned cycles from the figure copy section or rewrite using individual G00/G01 moves, then re-execute the program.

Ensure Z-axis safety clearances are maintained when expanding canned cycles into linear moves.

Review the figure copy block for G70, G71, G72, G73, G74, G75, or G76 multiple repetitive cycle commands.

Check for reference point return commands (G27, G28, G29, G30) within the figure definition.

Look for G04 dwell commands in the copied section, as timing commands cannot be scaled or rotated.

Remove or relocate these commands outside the figure copy block (before the start or after the execution), then test the program.

G28 reference returns should always be outside figure transformations to prevent incorrect machine positioning.

Examine the figure copy section for plane selection commands G17 (XY), G18 (ZX), or G19 (YZ).

Check for work coordinate system commands G52, G53, G54 through G59 within the copied figure boundaries.

Verify the correct plane is selected before the figure copy command begins, not within the copied section.

Move all coordinate system and plane selection commands outside the figure copy block, ensuring they are modal before copy execution.

Confirm the active plane matches your intended rotation axis before using figure copy to avoid unexpected transformations.
