Below is the URL for a Mastercam VB Script I wrote for debugging 5-Axis Posts.
It allows the user to select a rotary configuration, pick individual individual vectors and will then produce a basic text report
with the vector and angular data. Simply pressing [ESC] allows the user to exit the script at any time.
If nothing else, the math in the script gives users a good idea how the angles are calculated.
