Issue simulating transform operation in mach sim X9/2017

[kool]

Does machine simulation in MC2017/X9 support transform rotate operation and simulate properly?

 

I have build a new virtual machine (5x horizontal table "B" head "A") for machine simulation.

 

It simulating regular tool path properly, but I m having little issue with simulating transform rotate tool paths. I have attached 2 pictures to explain the issue below.

 

Fixture/stock should only rotate around -Y- axis like horizontal machine. and my tool and spindle should be in horizontal position.

 

what I m missing?

 

 

This is how fixture/stock and spindle looks with regular tool path, that how it should be.

 

 

This is how it looks with transform rotate tool path.

Is this little check box has anything to do with my nightmare?

It could be, but without a file for anyone to play along at home will be hard to know.

Can you post a screenshot of your transform operation parameters page?

Thanks guys, that check box (transform into WCS) in interface was one of the reason for my problem. unchecking it solves my problem, But there is secondary solution I found out when I was working on test program to put it on FTP. 

 

I don't know about you guys, but when I create a Transform operation I don't worry about setting my WCS(top) or T-plane(front). I guess when I created  original Transform operation, WCS was set to front. that is way it was rotated 90 deg.

 

When I was creating Transform operation for test program, WCS was set to top and it's simulating fine even though that box was check.

 

Any idea why that box is there? I could not find any info in help menu.
