CAM Turning Tailstock Interference Detection

[russtuff]

When Using a tailstock center (live center, dead center, whatever) It would be nice to be able to set up intereference detection to avoid crashing. I have discussed this in the following post: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/computer-aided-machining-cam/lathe-turning-tailstock-interference-dete...

Do be aware that classifying something as a Fixture doesn't constrain the toolpath (AFAIK) it just tells you when there's a collision.

Yes, exactly. It would be nice to have it in turning like we do in milling.

The Fusion Team has a video which illustrates it in practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_EPNUoMQfU
