  1. When you activate that then other options come up. It comes down to different things you want to learn and do with the software. Everything in help is worthless when it comes to things like this. Like there is a big gap in help missing and think it all relates to impellers and not the open type shape you have for the file. I would 3+2 a part like that and never even come to 5 axis land for roughing. Still trying to figure where you got in stuck you must rough in 5 axis. I find roughing in 3+2 does a much better job most times than trying to do 5 axis. Machines are stronger and do a much better job in 3+2 than in 5 axis IMHO.

    Many people say that to me too rough 3+2 and finishing use 5 axis.

    Thank you MillMan for the answer.

  2. I use this settings in Generic Fanuc 5X Mill

     

    #Primary axis angle description (in machine base terms)

    #With nutating (mtype 3-5) the nutating axis must be the XY plane

    rotaxis1$ = vecx #Zero

    rotdir1$ = vecy #Direction

     

    #Secondary axis angle description (in machine base terms)

    #With nutating (mtype 3-5) the nutating axis and this plane normal

    #are aligned to calculate the secondary angle

    rotaxis2$ = vecz #Zero

    rotdir2$ = vecx #Direction

     

     

    and
