Jason,
I'm revisiting this issue because I now have Aturn V11.5 and a Vertical Turret
Lathe with live tooling and was wondering if the same info about C axis applies.
I'm trying to program a simple B.C..
Thanks, Dave

Sorry guys,
SmartCAM does not support C axis rotary motion in the milling applications. A
and B axes will work fine, but C does not get you correct output. It will
always output X and Y motion in order to get from point 1 to point 2 in the XY
plane, rather than C axis rotation. We would have liked to get this added to
the software, but it just didn't pan out.
Best of luck,
