Hi all
Just a quick one, I have been trying the milling tutorials to learn this software. Basically the 2.5D which you can download. All was going well, but then I decided to try outputting Gcode from an exercise, lets say exercise 14.
This in the download has the complete built part, I used the fanuc4ax mac file, which calls the fanuc.gpp
So far so good, but then when reading the Gcode it was only using XYZ, no rotational movements etc. I looked through the gpp file, and notice there is a @fourth_axis in there, but this isn't called unless you do a Transform - 4 axis in solidcam operations.
The solidwork file has been constucted to machine 4 sides of a block, so would have assumed some out of say "G00 C *******" or something along these lines. Not even a machine coordinate is output, i.e. G10 L2 G54 etc...
Can someone shed some light on this, is the post missing something?
