On the manufacturing side, go to your Feature window and right-click on Stock (the one for the sub spindle) and ensure that Sub Spindle is checked. This should fix your simulation issue.
As far as the regeneration of the sequence, I'm not too sure about that.
Originally Posted by jheal  On a 5 axis dual spindle lathe, i am trying to move my subspindle closer to the main, and with the main turret, I am milling a flat on my piece.

On simulation, it shows the spindle move up, but the workpeice stays stationary. The tool moves past the moved spindle does a flat on the workpiece and then the rotary rotate spins only the spindle, and not the piece itself, and mills over top of the already milled portion. Now this may be wrong but I understand that the simulation has a lot of bugs and this may be one of them, but after I insert the rotary rotate, if i decide to regenerate, the profile tells me it not on the plane of the CPL and tells me to redo a modifyer. Am i missing a step in this? |  |
