MR2 Backplot problem

[jctjct]

In MR1 when backplotting a 5-axis Multi Surface (set to 4 axis output) the tool axis would stay vertical and the part would rotate around the x axis. Since updating to MR2 the part stays stationary and the tool rotates around it. All of my backplot settings are identical. Anybody have any ideas?

Check the "Simulate Rotary Axis" setting

It is checked. Any other suggestions? My co-worker is having the same problem.

Anybody? I'm tearing what little hair I have left out.

The only way I can make the tool go around the part is to uncheck the "Simulate Rotary Axis". (In config) When I installed MR2, I thought I was replacing the MR1. I must of did something wrong. Anyway my configs were mixed up with old files of MR1 that were left behind. The MDs'& CDs' post processors almost everything comming from MR1, but yet I was running MR2. Even the short cut was targeted to MR1. A mess!.... Just a thought

"Simulate Rotary Axis" seems to have no effect. It does nothing different whether checked or not. My co-worker did a side by side install, and for him MR1 acts like I'm looking for, but not MR2.

When I did a side by side MR2 worked better for me also.

Bump. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'd suggest sending your file along with some explanation to [email protected]. They'll investigate.
