Are you talking about the code or just the Mastercam Screen View?

i have a proofed out post for a Fadal using different heads. You are prompted by questions for which head will be used. The post is set up for my heads and tool lengths. All programming is down with "top" tool planes. Very easy to program. If you would like, i can tell you how I set my post up and give you a few pointers.

I have programmed a few right heads and did not have to have a speacial post. but I was not able to program from the top view butr was able to get the right code.

 

Have done this V6,V8,V9
