  1. Thanks for the beefy responses! I shall continue to dive deep into learning it. Much appreciated!
  2. Hey guys. I've recently started to watch Colin's post processor videos because I've always wanted to have more control over what's being posted and just be a more valuable employee. I just went to some mcam training thru my local reseller and one of the guys thinks it's a waste of time because if you're on maintenance you can have your reseller edit the posts for you, and that if you run into some major problems that need fixing on your customized posts that they will not touch it. He also mentioned that pretty soon the language is going to change and everything is going to be different. I'm trying not to get discouraged and I will continue to learn thru Colin's videos but I'm curious as to what you guys think about all of this. Thanks!
  3. Hi guys, I'm about to lose it because I don't know how to lock my B-axis for a dynamic multi-axis roughing op. I have a part that I'm programming and the owners want me to utilize 5 axis toolpaths for roughing. I made a swarf for the undercuts that posts correctly, and even a triangular mesh constant cusp toolpath for finishing the floors that posts correctly. The two that post right keep it simple and move only the B-axis. Problem is the dynamic wants to post B and C which I'm sure is fine but now its hitting my B- limits. Does anybody have any idea to possibly lock the C-axis? I figure since the swarf works then so should my dynamic. Sorry I'm having a difficult time wording this right but here's some pictures of the two ops that work, and the one that doesn't. THANK YOU x1000000! MATERIAL IS Ti 6AL-4V.
