Hi there!

I am recently stated working with ArtCAM Pro 9.1 and most of the material provided by this company has been very helpful, videos and documents. However, there is a very nice exercise which I do not have a clue how to do it. This is, turning a motif around a cylinder, as it is shown in the following page:

I have a 5 axis CNC machine, with one of the axis a turning one. Additionally, the CNC Company has provided the Postprocessor which works with MACH 2 and MACH 3 software. Now, I am supposed to do the drawing into a planar area with one of the dimension to be the perimeter of the cylindrical blank to be used to carve this motif. After this, it is where the post processor transforms the “y” axis movement into a circular one; however I do not know how to do this. I will highly appreciate if you can drive me to get this done. Any information related with this matter will be highly appreciated.
Thank You Very Much,
Eduardo.
