Hello, Im trying to learn how to work with 'Four axis rotary' operation.
I havent successfully created a toolpath with this operation, mainly because I dont know what is meant by:
1. Drive geometry
2. Model geometry
Should these be surfaces, geometry, lines? etc.
In the long run, I want to machine surfaces with this operation from a SolidWorks SLDPRT file, if this is possible.
For regular 3-axis milling, ive used the Feature-finder with some success and
'Geometry from edges'. Worth noting is the output from these tools isnt selectable as 'Drive geometry' / 'Model Geometry'.
Any ideas?
I have a 4-axis mill code generator with the rotary axis mounted on the X-axis. I can simulate roughing/profiling etc with angular turns in between.
