Hi Mike, thank you for the quick reply!
I'm using the Nov. 01 2008 release, I'm pretty sure thats the latest.
I've been setting the plane to the part as in the 5 axis video, I'm sorry I can't recall the name of the command, but it's the one that sets it to the face of the object.
Everything appears to be working fine, I would just like to be able to see the rotary/trunnion table for visual feedback, so I can assure myself I'm not going to inadvertently machine them... I will see if I can get a screen shot or two to help me explain myself more clearly
Many thanks,
Jason
