B axis 3D Contour

[Tony35]

hopefully this is a easy fix or maybe its just a bug

 

i am doing a 3D contour using axis sub (x axis)so my code is Y Z but the toolpath and verify look good but its not close its 90 deg off! backplot shows what the code really is going to be. so i had to rotate my geo 90 deg from the solid which sux for when i have to verify i have to re-chain. now when i program just a simple index the code/verify/backplot is right on (front = B0.0)what do i have wrong here any input or ideas would be a big help

TIA

A point in the right side view at 0 degrees in Cartesian coordinates will appear at -90 degrees in the top view (assuming +CCW rotation). This can cause a lot of mismatches. Without seeing your part and methods, this is my best guess as to where the mismatch is coming from.

John can i send you the part to look at?

[John Summers]

Sure.
