    Sim 5 axis doesn't work: says there's no drive surface

    Hi, I'm trying to use sim 5 axis for my 4 axis machine using solidcam, I select "Morph between 2 boundary curves" then in geometry for the drive surface (imagine I have a cube) I select the top surface, then for the start edge I selecte the edge at the left of the face, and for the end I select the rigth one.
    And when I try to calculate the path it says "Drive surfaces are missing". I don't understand, it seems to be a bug, can someone have a working part with cam to test ?

    (I use solidcam 2013 x64 with solidwork 2014)

    Thanks

    It was a bug, I updated to solidcam 2014 and it works now...
