I have a lathe with sub spindle, live tooling and Y axis and my sub spindle is programmed with Z+ moves. When I try to use live tooling or drilling on the sub spindle Fusion will not generate a tool path. I was told its because of the positive Z moves on the machine and the positive Z direction of the tool Fusion cannot generate a tool path. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution? I know for Hass they use a G14 and it reverses the program but not on my machine. I also have Esprit Cam and we can generate the toolpath easily.
