    Default 5 axis post processor

    Hello. I have my own postprocessor, which is working well on any axies (when i mill something directly on any rotated axis). Now i started ti check how it is working when i'd like to mill a 3d surface, with a multi axis moveing, but something wrong, and the tool is go to a wrong position. I am sure something is wrong in my post, but i didnt find yet.
    Is this any special command what i must use in this milling type?

    Assuming you are not using fixture offsets or local coordinate systems, you need two things to get multi-axis milling output.

    First, the operation must be a variable axis operation. If you list the path, do you see tool axis vectors other than 0,1,1 ?

    Second, the post must be for a multi-axis machine. When you create a new post, just select the right machine type.
    If you post your mult-axis milling operation through one of the sample posts, such as MILL_5_AXIS, do you see A dnd B moves?
