4x HMC not simulating correctly, is my set up right?

My main experience is VMC 4x and 5x. Doing my first HMC 4x part using the Mill - 4 axis HMC machine and Generic Fanuc 4x mill post.  My WCS in all ops is set to Top.  MY T C are set to Front, Right, Back, Left. The tombstone is rotating around Z in Mcam, but will rotate around Y in the Machine.  I read this is how a HMC must be set up.  Is that correct?   The code looks ok but when using the Simulator the stone is laying on its side and crashing into the spindle.  I understand the Simulator does not read gcode but still it should be oriented right, I think.

Thank you for any help,

Steve

You have to change to the 'horizontal' machine in Machine Simulation. There is a 'setup' option in the Operations Manager. I think the machine name is 'horiz 4 front', or something like that.

I change from 4xGen-HMCTB to Horiz4Front and that did work. Thanks Collin!
