Can you use 3D Adaptive tool path on 4th axis?

Hi, 

 

I've attempted to use a 3d toolpath on 4th axis and I'm using a circular pattern as I have 16 identical pockets to profile. 

 

However, when coming to create the program it will say that it has failed. 

 

My other rotary tool paths are ok and my 2d facing tool path on a circular toolpath works also. 

 

Also I've attempted using a 2d toolpath, but I'm struggling with the tool orientation and aligning it to the centre of the pocket - it seems easier to do it on the 3d tool path as you have the align view. 

 

Thanks 

Ryan
