Not much would change in this example; this... pwrtt$ if (t$ > 0) & (gcode$ <> 1003), [ p_add_to_tool_stack ] ...would change to this... ptooltable$ if tt_count$ = 1, [ p_add_to_tool_stack ]

ok, here is an example file that shows axis subsitution on your file. sample part file - https://fastechincorporated-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/support_fastechinc_net/ERaMd39pHRdCjdeVAFz-IhABs3NxwD8zKBxKj7OJB8yDXQ?e=KUgEyc video https://fastechincorporated-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/support_fastechinc_net/EcvfKeRag0FCgeG9FDiICVUBMRE8vJPy06Oh-ETuDKqAiA?e=CtD6Lv if the video quality is poor in the browser you can download the video from that same link and if you download the .mp4 video it will play high quality EDIT: i just updated a new part file because i had that transform toolpath setup incorrectly, with axis subsitution we translate an axis subsitution path to get it to rotate like KB article 50169 shows. So please use this new link to the file since i have fixed the tranform toolpath

I remember getting a pen thrown at me, when I asked this question in an internal staff meeting. That was back in 2013. I think the consensus was basically "not until Mill-Turn is a mature product". I've helped a couple guys hack a 5-Axis Post, in order to do "turn-and-burn" work. That was a very complicated way to go about getting anything that was useable. It took a lot of wok just to generate simple "turn-and-burn" paths. Plus, to get it to work right, you've got to have 5X Milling, on top of the regular Wire EDM package. We ended up having to use Manual Entry to call a Subprogram, and we output the T&B code as the Sub. It worked ok, but was still a lot of work to go through, for output that other packages like ****** can do easily.

The problem with Dell is you are better off buying a fast i7 or i9 and Dell doesn't build i7 or i9 workstaions All the good Dell workstations run Xeon now. I quit buying Dells about 6 years ago and was amazed at the performance difference (running Mastercam) between a plain Jane i7 machine and my old high dollar Dell

Unless you need the portability that a laptop offers i suggest steer clear of Laptops, its hard to find many budget friendly laptops that can support a full sized graphics card. so you end up paying almost twice as much on the build. If your computers just gonna sit at work all the time i think its best to go desktop, plus they typically have better cooling options and much better for future upgrades. for those that work from home though or need portability then obviously there is no point to go with a desktop because no one wants to have to haul something like that around but i have seen at least a handful of times where a company purchases a laptop for an application that a desktop could have been in and they could have got about 2x the performance for a desktop of the same price point. I have been with my company for years, and for years i used a laptop, but this year i got my first desktop since they were upgrading systems and i Love this thing, i have a nice Gaming keyboard (with really nice switches - you cant find keyboards like this on laptops) and this is the best pc i have ever worked with (and this pc probably was like i said half the cost of my dell workstation laptop that i used the years prior). - well you can plug any keyboard into a laptop but i mean not the built in keyboards, those are normally those little thin keys that are squashed together to take up less space Much of this is probably obvious, but wanted to mention it anyways because after I have been using laptops for years and now using this Desktop i am very impressed with how well this desktop works. The only problem with this desktop is it dont fit in my computer bag like my laptop did lol but thats ok because they still let me use the old laptop whenever i want to work from out of the office.
