    MASTERCAM 9.1 INDEXING 4TH AXIS

    Hello!


    Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

    mastercam 9.1


    I have just started programming 4th axis (Thanks for the info cad/cam)

    I am trying to index a tube to drill holes, what I would like the machine to do is -

    Drill
    Unlock m10
    rotate
    lock m11
    Drill
    (long story short)


    Anything info would be greatly appreciated!!!


    Thanks for your time,


    -Grant
