Rotary Module "True 4th Axis" setting is ignored by the PostProcessor. #301

Description

@Nandox7

Issue seen in versions 1.8.0 and 1.8.1
Setting connection mode in the Rotary Module to True 4th Axis and Axis to A is ignored.

Image

In the 3D simulation all looks good in terms of stock and movement, but even looking at the gCode that is generated and that it plays it does not contain code for the A Axis.

Image

The resulting gCode shows moves that only move the X axis and the Y as zero, with no code for the A axis.
Not matching that is seen in the 3D Simulation where the paths wrap around the stock as it rotates on the A axis.

Example:

G0 X32.7392 Y0 Z0
G1 X31.7634 Y0 Z0 S0.15 F300
G1 X31.3424 Y0 Z0 S0.15 F300
G1 X29.8195 Y0 Z0 S0.15 F300
G1 X29.8195 Y0 Z0 S0.15 F300

Machine is a Makera Carvera Air and the Rotary module settings were defined manually.

Attaching full debug with project included.
