      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am using a Shopbot PRS Alpha with indexer to create 4 sided blocks with intricate patterns on each face. I have modeled the block in Fusion (excellent modeling tools) and gone through the many posts on 4th axis rotation but seem to be getting code that makes no sense. &amp;nbsp;I expect to see an M5 command somewhere in the code to tell the indexer to rotate 90 but there is no M5 command. I have checked 4th axis in the post processor dialog so i am puzzled that there is no m5 command.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there anyone with experience using the shopbot indexer with Fusion?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;From the programming manual&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;M5&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Move 5 Axis &amp;nbsp;new-X, new-Y, new Z, new-A, new-B&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So I am looking for M5 ,,,,90&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Looking through the code now line by line to see what is going on. It must be using another command.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>The screenshot you posted makes it seems as though your rotation has no shared axis. Which axis does the rotary rotate about? The usual is either Y or X (X being more common).</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;From your prog ref&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;M5 , could mean correctly stop spindle&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;next line move axis&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;question is is this a manual indexer that you ( the operator ) rotates or is it powered&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am thinking it's like a spindex not a true 4th&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;i am am not familiar with a shopbot so I may be wrong but that snippet tells me that they are being safe and stopping the spindle&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A 90. &amp;nbsp; is the normal axis rotation command for A&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
