    Post assistant - machine simulation

    Hi, i´m trying to create a 5 axis post for a 5axis Okuma MU400V. I created the machine model. Zero point of the machine is crossing of a/c-axis.
    I have two problems :
    - The tool is placed on this zero-point. The spindle head is 100 mm above this point. How can i adjust this ?
    - the simulation starts in this zero-point. The tool is at that moment completely in the C-table. Who can i adjust the home-position correctly ?
    Best regards ..

    Hi Daudi,

    Zero point of the post should be the spindle nose.

    Make sure the A axis and C axis cross and base the primary component location there (maybe allowing for a table height in Z).
