Dear RoboDK Team,
i am quiet new to the Topic.
I try to get a 5 axis G-Code running via the mastercam plugin but I have problems to get the right 5 axis tool orientation. When generating the robot programm it always outputs a toolpath where the tool orientation ist Z+ (vertical in my coordinate system).
I tried to reproduce it with an easy geometry. So i tried to get a toolpath for an easy circle which is placed on a side of a vertical surface. So the tool orientation should be horizontal. The simulation in Mastercam shows the right result but in RoboDK the circle is again horizontal an the toolorientation ist vertical ( Z+). I attached some pictures for this example.
The same with 5 axis simultaneous toolpaths. Doesn´t matter which toolorientations were given in Mastercam. The Mastercam-Simulation shows the right toolpath but in Robodk its always vertical/ Z+
I use Mastercam 2019 ,the default "Mill Default MM" post processor and RoboDK Version 3.6.0
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks!
