    Rotary Indexing Not posting correctly.

    Ok, so I have this block, and in the block is a through hole off center. I am drilling and boring from each end with rotating 180deg for indexing. I set WCS at top. C and T planes are at bottom for the indexing tool path. I then look at the post with 4th axis and rotary axis positioning about x axis turned on. This is what it does.
