Almost?? NCL must be awesome then? Okay, just read that NCL will support up to 10 axis. AFAIK now NX only supports 5. > > learning NX without training will take some time > training can get you up to speed much faster > training will expose you to all the tools I know, but I am not the one who operates the machines. I am only trying to convince the workshop that they should use NX. So, I invest a lot of time in NX cam and I try to learn as much as possible from other 5 axis users. As a side effect I also learn to operate and understand my emc system better. > > I have no direct experience with the post generator in NX - it is said > to be very flexible and powerful What can I say, totally new to it I managed to get a 3 axis emc postprocessor. > Emc usesr interested in APT should check the wiki.

But it is nice to know that there is an opensource option for multi axis systems.
