    Hello I have a router 3 axis and added a 4th. problem is i want to rotate along y axis for rotary finish instead of x as is default in powermill. How can I do that?

    Have you tried using orientation vectors on the toolpath form?

    I'm sorry, i mis read your question. i dont think orientation vectors will do that for rotary finishing. if you send me your powermill project, perhaps i can help figure it out.

    Are you sure about your post processor?
    And to fix and replace x with y ir anything you can simply use replace command in notepad and exchange all x with y or anything like it
