C axis milling and turning verify issues


Recommended Posts

Im new to mastercam c axis programming. Im working with a shop that has a haas st20y 4 axis lathe. Im doing a simple 3/4 hex program in mastercam 2017. My issue is before i add the milling toolpaths to the lathe, the turning tools come up in the correct orientation on verify simulation, but when i added the mill contour to cut with the side of the end mill (could not find any c axis cuts that would do what i wanted) and then try to do a verify simulation my lathe tools come in at a crazy orientation. When i suppress all the milling and try to run the sim, everythings good, but when i try to run it all it screws up the orientation of the turning tools in the verify simulation, i think it has something to do with the planes. Any help would be appreciated. thank you. heres the file if you want to look at it

This is a known bug, Ignore the backplot when together. Post the code and call it a day.
