  1. I'm not trying to sound like a smart a$$ but I've got the e-mails from the machine guys and they are the ones that told us that if we set our starting point at -90 we can cut a full 360. We've tried changing and tried changing some more, but basically I've had to go in and manually edit all of the programs to start at -90 and then continue through. I can continue to do this as it's the only way we can get it to work, but I was looking for an easier way wich is basically to be able to define the srating position.
  2. Sorry, I'm new to both the forum and programming. We're trying to basically cut a cylinder. We've got a cms machine and the guy tells me I need to specify my starting point of the cut to be around -90 to get the machine to cut a full 360 circle. So I managed to stumble into the rotary 4th axis function and it seems to be doing what I want, except it starts at +90 and when putting this value into the machine it limits out.
  3. Is there any way to specify my star point with this operation. My CMS machine requires me to start at a certain value to cut the full 360?
