Setting up toolpath for a 4th axis rotary parallel finishing pass, I get an error that says, Rotation Axis is not aligned with the center of the part. Do you want to proceed?
I just set up my fourth axis, so I have never done this before. There are a ton of problems I am having, but I think if I can determine what is causing this error, I may be able to sort out the rest of the issues alone.
Can anyone suggest what might cause this error message? My part is just a sample part (a tube) centered on 0,0,0 and extruded along the X axis. In the Machine set-up tab, I have the 4th axis rotary center at 0,0,0 and under rotary axis, (X Axis) is selected. I then set up a rotate table with 0 as the Table rotation angle. Then when I pick 4th axis parallel finishing, i get the above error.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
