Andy,
I do 3-4-5 axis work using UG. In their terminolgy "variable machining"
USUSALLY means variable axis machining. Read 4-5 axis. I have this module in a
"license bundle", the individual components of which can not be disabled, but
I doubt you can do multiaxis work without the multiaxis functions license. If
you only need positioning, and not simultaneous 4 axis motion, You may have a
shot.
Good luck,
Pete
P.S. UG11245 includes the Fixed axis surface milling, surface milling and
variable axis surface milling. From the looks of it you will need it for 3
axis surfaceing as well as for 4 and 5. I have a summary of features per
bundle list, email me if you need it.

�����������
at this moment our company is�looking at upgrading from Smartcam to
UniGraphics. If anybody could answer me a�few of questions it would be
greatly appreciated. I know some of you guys have already looked at or
acquired
UG.
�
1.I need to know what�capabilities
the VARIABLE MACHINING MODULE (UG11245)
has?
�
2.Is this module required for 3 axis
surface scanning and 3, 4, and 5 axis positional
work?
�
3.I know
UniGraphics�Can do everything That
Smartcam can do, but can it do this�WITHOUT this
module?
�
