Artcam Pro 8.1 <2025>

Version 8.1 had no true Undercutting support (no 4th/5th axis). You could not machine the side of a sphere while the top was being cut. But users got around this by using the "Rotary" toolpath workaround: modeling a flat relief, wrapping it around a cylinder mathematically, and praying the post-processor didn't glitch.
