About LinkBacksLike some help please. I am trying to make a part that I want to mill a radi in the X and Z plane using I and J. right now all I get when I generate G code is X,Y, and Z. Anyone got any helpful hints?

I see so in X,Y I diable the K factor and in X,Z or Y,Z I enable is that right?
You don't disable or enable anything.Ok,sorta.
Just use the right plane.
XY=G17 Plane IJ
XZ=G18 Plane IK
YZ=G19 Plane JK
With G18 you work in (Enable) the XZ plane.

Stefan, Thanks for the link. I cant seem to get it to work in inches. If I PM you the code I have would you mind running it for me? When I run it in Bob-cad it is not smooth in the simulation. but it looks good when you just look at the toolpaths.
Go ahead and PM me.
If you want to change the program to inch,just click on "Settings" and login.Password is -login.
When you have done that,click on "Settings" again and then "Simulation settings" and you'll find what you're looking for.

I also have been trying to cut curves/radi in xz or yz. Where could I change or select the right plane? Do I chose this on the cad or cam side? When I am trying to cut curves in 3d it breaks it down to little lines and jerks the machine when cutting. If you have any ideas let me know please.
Thanks
