    FeatureCam and 4th Axis

    I just installed a 4th Axis (HRT-160 w/Chuck) on a HAAS TM2 and need some assistance on how to use it in conjuction with FeatureCam 2012. Never used 4th axis before so any insight would help.

    Most important part using FC 2012 is setting up your UCS correctly.
    Once it is set, you can not change it, in this version.
    You can change it in later versions of FeatureCAM.
    I hated this about FC... and they fixed it I think in 2013.
    Is there anything specific that you would like to know?

    Good Luck~!:cheers:
