I add this snippet at the end of the code,

G91 G0 A90 (whatever angle required)
G90
M47 (repeat program from first line)


Certainly not something that would be used in a production environment, but works for me.

Finally. I got this code to work!!! Here is what I had to do to get it to work. I had to go into my A axis and change the limits from 360 to 1440 . Once I did this I got it to rotate to any degree I chose as long as I used the wrapping job. I had to copy and paste the g code and put in the degree I wanted to rotate. But it works !!!
Thank you to everyone that has posted on this.. This is huge for me to get my machine to do this.
