    Is it possible to define the rotational axis limits for 5 axis Milling
    Workcell configuration in Pro/E??

    Axis j has to be -30°/+120°
    Axis k has to be -180°/+180°

    This limits should be defined before PostProcessing so the tool path is
    calculated in the
    right way.

    If it is possible where I can setup it?

    In a workcell definition? I haven't looked at Pro/NC in a few years (since
    2001) but I don't recall machine limits being part of a workcell definition.
    Well, actually, I thought the post processor handled the machine defintion,
    such as, travel limits, rotational limits, cutter speed limits, etc. Do you
    know how to create a post processor within Pro/NC? There used to be a
    program called NC-POST where you filled in the information needed to create
    a post processor for a certain machine.
