    What are the rules and limitations

    I figured out why I can't wrap/unwrap geometry.

    I had 5axis vertical mill selected for my MDD. It looks like you can only wrap using a 4axis machine. Even 3 axis doesn't work.

    sorry, it has to do with the rotary axis setup. So it will work with a 5axis vertical, but the position of each of the rotary axis, is the determining factor.
