General Mach Discussion / Re: System with only X and C axis and fixed tool point
« on: April 14, 2014, 06:03:03 AM »I had it in mind that you might be able to do this using axis formulas (Function Cfgs). I tried it but it just produced a nonsense toolpath. A bit more diddling and either I'm doing it wrong or formulas don't work properly. Really simple ones seem to work but anything slightly complicated seems to throw it. The example on the formulas dialog implies it CAN handle more complex formulas but not here anyway. (3.43.22).
I looked at this as well but concluded that Nick is quite right - it is really a job for the CAM software to sort out.
