Programming paths for a machine with two spindles

Programming paths for a machine with two spindles

I have a question whether Inventor HSM (especially in the 2012 version) can be programmed paths for such a machine:

where I use two spindles interchangeably: a milling cutter (3+2 axes) and a circular saw

The circular saw in that video essentially is a very big slot mill. So if you would always have that a specific tool number, or turret number you can easily make the post recognize and call the second spindle.

I want to create paths only for the milling machine, and the saw will only disturb, and I do not want to disassemble it. I want to set it in the machine, the frog saw was always on the opposite side of the workpiece being machined.
