I think the most expedient way to do this would be to set up planes in the CAD model, and create 2D drawings projected on those planes. In theory you could set up a 5-axis kinematics and manually set the angles of the rotary axes. But elements such as the tool length and the distances between rotation axes and the datum planes become critical. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with <2% overhead.
