Hello
I'm a newbie to Mastercam and 4 axis programming
I have some problems in determining WCS, Tplane and Cplane and rotary axis for my new Chinese CNC router with rotary 4th axis and Richauto a18 control, I use 4axis mill generic with generic Fanuc 4x post.I have tried tons of axis configurations with one semi-successful try, in which I put WCS to top, Tool plane (and construction plane) right plane (don't know why) and rotation axis (in Rotary strategy) is y but the result was YZA move simultaneously and X is move between slices (it should be XZA simultaneously and y for moving between slices).
Attached is a picture of a similar machine, I don't where should be the WCS and the tool plane (in 1,2 or 3) and should I determine tool plane offset or make it (0,0,0)Please help me understand what's the issue and how to determine WCS, tool plane and rotary axis.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your help
I have Mastercam 2018, I couldn't find what to edit in the MMD to substitute x with y. Please tell me how to go around this.
And also is there any way to make rotary strategy work as helix not slice by slice?
