UG is a full 5 axes CAD/CAM system.

So is Mastercam.

I don't have X Bob, but none of the prior releases were. That isn't to say
that you can't do 5 Axis with MC but the software had no kinematics
internally and that is what Cliff is probably refering to. Saying that a
system is a "full 5 axis CAD/CAM system" hasn't much meaning. Saying that a
CAM product has an integrated kinematics engine means everything, which is
one reason you don't see the reference in advertising material. You'd be
able to sort the wheat from the chaff without a Vulcan Mind Meld. UG has
such capabilities in their modelling technology out of the box. So does
Catia. All of the kinematics in MC used to be, and probably still are, in
the post processor which is why having a working post is such a big deal.
You aren't just formatting with the post, you are doing all of the matrix
algebra as well and that means what you see ain't always what you get.

John:

That's interesting. I've heard of Mastercam doing 5 axis work for
years, they even say full 5 axis machining on their website. Thanks for
that informative update though.

Or was John correct in his speculation
that you're just trolling. You wouldn't consider doing such a thing,
now would you? LMAO!

Just spit Bob. You aren't a swallower are ya' 8->

It's just idle chit-chat. But it seems Cliff if going through
political discussion withdrawals and is looking for an outlet for all
his pent-up antagonism and animosity. LOL
