6.3.2 OffsToolPolar - Offsets tool cartesian

Usage
OffsToolPolar is a function that requires an instance of tooldata, an offset
radius as num data, and an angle as num. The function will return a new tooldata
value offset in tool coordinates by the amount specified by the offset in the direction
specified in the angle.
Basic examples
The tool is offset 3 mm in the X-Y plane. The direction is specified by MyAngle.
Return value
Data type: tooldata
The new TCP data.
Arguments
OffsToolPolar (Tool Radius Angle)
Tool
Data type: tooldata
Original tool.
[Radius]
Data type: num
