Hi Turmite,
Thanks for the reply and help! I'm beggining to really like MadCam alot the more I use it. I found a simple way to do the 90 degree increments with my rotary table that I was talking about using the '5 axis menu'.
What I did was the following:
Start with your rectangular stock in Rhino (needs a flat surface on each side). Orient object on the center of the axis in Rhino > select 'for tool calculation' > select cutter > select options> select 4-5 axis > select 3D rough. Let it rough the top. Now select: '5 axis c plane' menu and 'Set C Plane to object'. Next select one of the 90 degree sides of the stock (this orients the c-plane to that side) > select 3D rough. Let if rough that 90 degree side. Then I just repeat this on the bottom, and the other side. When I view in 'Simulate' it rotates the stock perfectly at 90 degree increments along the center axis and draws the toolpath correctly. Very cool!
The only thing I need to do is just put a piece of code after each 90 degree turn to pause the job so I can rotate the rotary table manually. I'm still running the trial so haven't been able to test the code out but I can't see any issues with this method right now.
