4TH AXIS ENGRAVE

[DanWRClemens]

Hello,  Could someone please point out the necessary steps to a-axis engrave on an old Fanuc.  I know how to engrave and post and all that jazz. It's the wrapping and chaining that I'm having frustration with.  You can be brief and just point me in the right direction.  I've been using roll and feel like I'm getting close. 

Thanks!

You are on the right track with roll and unroll. Then using Axis sub on Contour.

Im unable to select axis sub.  Is this an option?

Check Axis Control page

I'm there but it doesn't let me select this option.

My guess would then be that you do not have a 4th axis defined in your machine definition manager.
