I attached a very crude example of what I have for a toolpath and you can see that in backplot and simulation the tool is rotating around the part and the same when you output the code. I am looking to have to tool advance in Z and the part rotate in C axis. I'm not sure if maybe there is a line in the code that is converting it so when the machine reads it, it performs the task the way I am wanting it to. Or possible an option in the parameters that I may have missed. Example.mcam

Ive been trying to get that to work for a bit now and can't seem to get what I am looking for. I like the toolpath I was able to get using unified guide selecting my top and bottom arcs on the cylinder just can't seem to get the C axis to control to rotation.

I am struggling, essentially what I am trying to do is use a face mill to create a spiral toolpath on the O.D. of a cylinder. I am using Unified Guided tool path and have the toolpath I want. The issue is in backplot the tool is rotating around the part following the spiral toolpath, I need the Tool to stay stationary in X and Y and just drop in Z while the part rotates in C to create my spiral. I thought it was only in backplot but when I output the code I am seeing large values in X and Y where it is still trying to move to tool around the part... I am at a complete loss.
