    5 Axis Positional Code questions. Have pictures and MCX file Inside.

    I had made a post last week, that sorta got confusing. So I decided to take another simular part and try it again. I drew up in SW the exact orientation of the machine so there is no confusion there. As you can see The machine is a tilting rotary table style of 5th. It is a B and C, with the B being the tilt, and the C being the rotary.










    You can see the Positive movment for each axis.

    Now lets look at the mcx problem.









    It is the RED face that I am starting with.

    Here is the begining part of the code it outputs:

    N102 G20
    N104 G0 G17 G40 G80 G90 G94 G98
    N106 G0 G28 G91 Z0.
    N108 G0 G28 X0. Y0.
    N110 ( 1/2 FLAT ENDMILL TOOL - 1 DIA. OFF. - 239 LEN. - 1 DIA. - .5 )
    N112 T1 M6
    N114 G0 G54 G90 X-5.2979 Y3.3719 C-81.765 B47.494 S3000 M3
    N116 G43 H1 Z7.1048
    N118 M8
    N120 Z6.9548
    N122 G1 Z6.2936 F5.
    N124 X-4.992 Y3.1204 F20.
    N126 X-2.0155 Y3.4114


    As you can see it is wanting to do a C-81.765. When I think it should be doing a Neg 8.235 Deg. And it is outputing a B 47.494 when It measures to be needing a B 47.2?

    I think I have something wrong in my MISC VALUES section of the Parameters of my toolpath. Can someone look to see what I am doing wrong?
