Hello, I am trying to use the 4th axis with solidcam, and in fact in works, but when it does movement outside the material a good thing would be that it wouldn't do a full rotation when it goes (for example) from 355 to 0.
Here is a gcode example:
S1000 M03
G00 G54 G90 X21.5875 Y0. A-88.588
G43 H1 Z30.
G01 G94 Z13. F300.
A270. F600.
G00 Z35.
X19.5875 A-88.588
Z33.284

Thanks in advance !

A few choices are allowed in configuration. See "Rotational" selections above Screen Control on the configuration page  and have a read of what they do in the manual .

 This works with G0 rapids, but not with G1's.
(on the Gen Config page)

ooops, that's one FAST bug you're riding there Rich.

Hey Russ, no need for speed just better to enjoy the ride.  

Have Cabin Fever yet?

Just somehing to consider on the rotation. If you have backlash it may be better to have it rotate in the same direction so  it is taken up.

Maybe that's not a bug ... .it's a TURTLE.

Heck yes, I'll be there !
You get us vendor passes yet ?

Oh yeah, good point on the backlash !

Sorry in advance for the following questions but maybe I'm too "newbie"...

I don't find the setting nor "screen control" and what is the configuration page (settings or config menu) ?

Same question for "Gen config page" do we speak about mach3 ?

EDIT: I seems that I have an old version of mach3, will try to update...

(menu bar) Top left of the screen, click on Config.
Then in the drop down, click on General Config.
Then near the lower right you see the Rotational settings.

If your version is VERY old, Mach2, it will be a bit different.
If this does not fix you, post your version .... or like you say, update to a newer one.
