    Five Axis Machining Help

    First off I work for a company who manufactures numerous parts that utilize the manufacturing capabilities of a five axis haas. We currently use a calc program in each machine that helps us locate the part/workholding anywhere we desire. (position wise) Offests are place in the Calc subprogram which we set manually and I am having problems understanding the moves in calc and how they are applied. This isn't a problem that can be explained in a couple of words. I hope anyone reading can understand what I am trying to convey and help a little. I have easy acess to the program and would be willing to talk and share it with anyone who has experience with this. The offsets shift at different rotations and that's where my problems lie.
    Thanks in advance

    Can you post the program here?
    Is it using a probe?
    Are there any macros used?
    Thanks,
    Ken Foulks
