    Rhinocam 2018 : 4th Axis Drive Surface Machining, Gcode Error

    Hello, I tried to generate Gcode with 4 axis "4th Axis Drive Surface Machining" for a simple milling.

    The Gcode calculate x,y,z,angle parameters.
    I would expect that these coordinates x,y,z correspond to the position of the CNC head but in fact the gcode x,y,z correspond to the tool end coordinates

    If I change the tool length, it is taken into account in the RhinoCam simulation but no effet in the gcode generation

    I also tried to change the parameter "gage length (for machines with a rotary head)" but without any impact on Gcode generation.

    Would you have an idea to solve this issue ?
