  1. Hi all,

    I have a couple of multiaxis paths (swarf does it everytime, multisurf sometimes) locked down to 4 axis, I set the 4th to rotate about Z. Every time I go into the parameters (even if i don't change anything) I need to reselect about Z for the 4th axis, it keeps getting reset to rotate about X. I can just reselect Z and all is good (sometimes the Z is still checked, but I need to click it again anyways to make it work). Also if I set it to Z then save right after, close the file and reopen then backplot, it will rotate about X.... Anyone else experience this?

     

    I have what sounds like the same problem, I'm trying to program a haas horizontal 4axis (rotate about Y). Drill and swarf multax toolpaths look good but then after I save and re-open the file it tells me the machine def doesn't support the toolpaths and it dumps my machine and/or toolpaths. Incredibly frustrating. Why has the machine def become so invasive, let the programmer program and judge by the g-code as to whether or not you have a valid toolpath.
