cavity mill approaches?
cavity mill approaches?
(OP)
I'm creating a 5 axis cavity mill, on an angle (NX4), i want to change the engage and retract moves, because they end up outside the m/c envelope(due to the angle).
I can change the engage to come from a point, and that works ( couldnt get vector to do anything),
But the retract move , to point won't work.
Any ideas why ??

Also, pay attention to the default settings. Generally if your retract would hit a part or check surface it will either retract along the tool axis or just stop (on final pass) at that surface with no warning (at least for me).
Tough to tell without pics...
