They added New R18 Multi-axis sprial milling.

I like it because it works like curve machining, only with you can have tlaxis normal, instead of lead lag, but .... I can't find a way to offest the soft guide contour.

any one have any luck

Dave,
I just checked it and as there is no option for offseting the soft guide. It would be nice to have the option as you can bring the tool out of it or stay inside by desired amount. Workaround is to manually define the soft guide using sketch projected on part surface.

I have solution with the Catia I have today.

Curve offset, not nessissary, Guide faces + offest on Guide faces, gives the desriable Miltiaxis motion.

One of my better co-workers banged on it until this discovery.Good job Mr. G.

Curve offset, not nessissary, Guide faces + offest on Guide faces, gives the desriable Miltiaxis motion.

 

But then your offsetting the guide faces (which may need to be hard guides) as well as the soft guide contour. I was expecting / hoping it would act a bit like an open pocket MO. 

You can also get similar results using spiral milling and convert to 5 axis (if using a ballnose tool), you also get a few more options on the 'global modification' tab.

 

 

 

Cheers.

Sure beats the old way...multi-axis flank normal to part and creating a bunch of drive surfaces...local modifications, etc...haven't had to use it yet, but looking forward to it.
