|description=:Create a new coordinate system. There are 4 methods that you can use to create a CS.

:NEW_CS 3P <name> <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> <x3> <y3> <z3>
:NEW_CS XY <name> <x1> <y1> <z1>
:NEW_CS YZ <name> <x1> <y1> <z1>
:NEW_CS XZ <name> <x1> <y1> <z1>

|param1=<method>|param1_desc=3P (3 points), XY, XZ, YZ, YX, ZX or ZY
|param2=<name>|param2_desc=CS name
|param3=<x1>|param3_desc=X value of point 1
|param4=<y1>|param4_desc=Y value of point 1
|param5=<z1>|param5_desc=Z value of point 1
}}

Only 1 point is required for XY/XZ/YZ/YX/ZX/ZY.<br>
For 3P you must provide 6 more values for the XYZ positions of the second and third points.

XY and YX will create a similar CS, but the horizontal and vertical axes will be swapped.<br>
You would usually use XZ for mill parts and ZX for lathe parts.<br>
<br>
Note: The YX, ZX and ZY options are only available in GibbsCAM version 11.2.3 and later.

===Example===
:NEW_CS XY, "NewXY", 3, 6, -1.5
<br>
:This will create a new CS, parallel to the XY plane, with its origin at X 3, Y 6, Z -1.5
