CAM Simulation - Fixed tool orientation

CAM Simulation - Fixed tool orientation

Now that there is a 4th/5th axis support, I would really like to see the simulation view have the option of having the tool remain fixed and the part turn around the A axis. This would be a little more realistic as the part will be turning on my 4th axis (A axis) and the tool is always in the Z axis.

That would be something like a machine simulation. I understand you would want to see this.

But where most CAM systems only do that I would hate that.

Because a lot of the times I want to see what happens to a certain pocket and having the model move so that I can't see that pocket anymore would make the simulation kind of useless.

So I'm for this if we can have both ways and the ability to select a default ourselves.

Lauren, 

 

Definitely should be an optional thing. I realize that there are times when the way it currently works is a good thing. However, I think there are also benefits to both ways.

i understand you concern about that. a switch to turn it on and off would be nice and a way to make the machine visible and not would be great also
