Hi,
We have a large 5-Axis mill with a Heidenhain controller we are looking to run some live 5-Axis programs on. Currently, the machine will move line by line and stop at every line instead of feeding continuously throughout the program. For some reason, it seems Visi/Work NC have never had a live 5-axis post for a Heidenhain control before (same old BS).... lol
We're convinced it's an issue with the post. We may be wrong though and maybe there's a setting/parameter that needs to be changed to activate live-5 on the control?
Here's an example of the programs our posts are spitting out now:

Every move after line 30 the machine makes the move and then stops instead of moving smoothly through those moves.
What would be greatly appreciated would be if any of you have a live-5 post for Visi/Work NC and wouldn't mind outputting some random program for us. Then we can compare programs and change the post accordingly.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Brandon
