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!
