    how to set 4th axis rotation limits?

    I have a workpiece that is to be continuous 4-axis milled but the stock will crash against the table if the A axis is rotated beyond 30 degrees below horizontal. How do I set MadCam to limit A axis rotation to the range -30 to 210 degrees for all toolpaths?

    Thanks...

    Click the MadCAM options icon (the yellow cog).
    Click the Axis Setup tab.
    Choose the four axis and click the Angle Limit tab. Here you can set -30 and 210.
    Select your model and specify rotation and spindle axis.
    Generate your toolpath.
