Title: Toolpath display.... Rotary
Post by: mhasting2004 on December 20, 2010, 04:50:50 PM

Hi guys

Tried to find answer but come up empty so far.

What defines the toolpath display origin and can it be changed so that it is in the center of the rotational axis.

Why can I rotate the toolpath display with a MDI command like G0A180 but using the hotkeys does not work for rotary (X,Y and Z all ok)

If the display had the origin at the center of the A axis then I assume left mouse key drag would work better.

Thanks

Mark

Toolpath origin is X0Y0Z0 and A0 IF rotary toolspaths are turned on
