  1. sorry for some reason i thought that was for a earlier version. thanks.
  2. Is there a x+ for x6 download. I am having difficulty finding one.
  3. That is what I did I know How to program it and use the transform toolpath. I guess my question is more of a post question I cant get it to post. It wont except it. It does everything right when you backplot and verify it. but when you go to post it. It wont recognize it.
  4. I work at a place called planet tool and engineering. This part is round and it has a chamfered edge around it with holes going through it tru to that chamfered edge. like if you put a 45 degree chamfer around a tube and then put holes thru that chamfer tru to its angled face.
  5. I dont have a 5th axis post yet but I am working with my dealer on the wcs manipulation. So when or if i do figure it out I will let you guys know what i had to do. Thanks for your replies.
  6. Ok I am drilling some holes on 38 degrees on the 4th axis. I am putting 4th axis on a sine plate and kicking it up. I got it programmed in mastercam and it backplots right. But when I go to post it out it says to select a axis paralell to x. I have the part in the top view then rotated gview about y the right degrees. So I think it is seing the x axis running at a angle. Do I need to set the wcs different or what. Or can I even do this. Usually I just program one drill point on x0. and set that in my machine over where the hole is supposed to be. and copy it however many rotations and just leave it on 0.0. But I am tired of doing that. Can someone help.
