4th Axis Simulation

[dylskee]

How do you use the 4th axis simulation for the part and not the tool? I'm using a solid model I created for the stock model and I choose the solid from the verify options but it just shows the tool moving about the axis. I have a model of a 2 jaw chuck with special made jaws that I use for my 4th axis simulation so I can watch for interference and really tweak my tool length out of holder for rigidity purposes. It seems the only time I can have the part simulation is if I use the "Initial stock size source" and specify a cylinder diameter, this is where I would like to select my stock model.

The only time I see the model rotate is when I have the rotary axis activated in the Operation itself. You might need to get a third party like Vericut, I believe there is an option True Solid which is supposed to do the same for the 5Ax toolpaths.
