Chris, I think that's pretty standard, at least CNCpro works like
that. What I do is now and again when I know that the position is
an even multiple of 360, insert a block to zero the axis. In my
case it would be 'G92 A0'. Otherwise after looping a subroutine
a few times, the position can be a huge number. This doesn't hurt
anything, until you want to start a new series of code and the
rotary starts unwinding to get back to the new commanded position
which would likely be between 0 and 360.
Sounds like you are making progress!
