      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi all,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a quick question about defining the kinematics of my deckel maho dmu50v.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;On this machine the spindle moves in the x y and z axes, while the part is mounted on the c and b axes. The b axis is canted at a 45 degree angle in the y-z plane and is limited to 180 degrees. The c-axis is fully rotational. So, B at 0 degs, the platen is flat on the x-y axis and B at 180 degs, the platen is flat on the x-z plane (or rotated -90 degrees along the x-axis). Its best to not think about it too hard.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The first question is, does it matter how the axes are listed in the kinematics while defining the machine? It doesn't look like it affects anything but I would like to make sure.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My second question: is the b-axis vector 0,-1,1? I'm basically using my right hand thumb to point in the direction of the axis of rotation and graphing the location of the tip.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Shawn&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I meant the part where they were talking about the kinematics of the machine and the example provided by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1941261"&gt;@Laurens-3DTechDraw&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Please bear with me, as I only started using Fusion360 yesterday and I am not familiar with how things work with it yet. My impression is that the CAM produces an NCI file that the post processor converts into an NC file the machine can use. My concern right now is just in the CAM part, where you define a machine. I'll worry about the post-processor later to prevent my brain exploding. That I suck at explaining things doesn't help, I'm sure, and I am appreciative of any help and patience.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a screenshot of what I am talking about:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="defining a machine's kinematics within the CAM" style="width: 443px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/861019iD6156BC2FD36AF71/image-dimensions/443x235?v=v2" width="443" height="235" role="button" title="machine kinematics setup.jpg" alt="defining a machine's kinematics within the CAM" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;defining a machine's kinematics within the CAM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;as compared to this:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="a better organized kinematics tree" style="width: 447px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/861020iE163A2C6022FCC4F/image-dimensions/447x239?v=v2" width="447" height="239" role="button" title="machine kinematics setup 2.jpg" alt="a better organized kinematics tree" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;a better organized kinematics tree&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I believe the two different kinematic trees shown makes a difference, but I am not sure.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The b-axis has two non-zero vector components [0,-1,1] and I want to make sure that is correct as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here is a video of the weird kinematics:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://youtu.be/nYntzIhpIZM" target="_blank"&gt;https://youtu.be/nYntzIhpIZM&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Shawn&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
