I am running a 4-axis tree mill... chinese wood mill system, 2.2kw 3-axis with rotary A-axis.
Currently making pool cues and having trouble making toolpaths.
The rotary runs down the Y-axis, so if I wanted to make a straight cut along the length of a pool cue, it would be Y+/-

Whenever I try to create toolpaths in solidworks cam, the coord system keeps changing on me.
I created a coord system oriented exactly as on the machine (Y-axis runs down cue, Z is up).
But when I use that coord system or create a new one in SolidworksCam... when I run the simulation, it instead switches the length of the cue (which is the Y-axis), to Z-axis.

What am I doing wrong?
I have tried changing the coord system and also the plane on which the part was drawn, it does same thing every time.

SolidworksCam Config:
Mill Machine = 4-axis
Post Processor = Tried 4-axis demo and also a Mori-seiki 4-axis
Setup = Indexing set to 4-axis
Fixture coord system = assigned as cnc machine is
Rotary Axis = Y-axis
0-degree position = XY plane

Attached are two pictures, one is a screenshot showing the coordinate system used... the other shows what happens when I run a simulation.
Why does it rotate the coordinates?
It's supposed to be milling the face of the tapered cylinder (cue).
